Birmingham property market

Birmingham sits on the edge of West Midlands, covering about 91 square miles.

The median asking price across the 3,847 homes for sale in Birmingham is £240,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £170,000 and £339,975. That is 31% below the UK. Homes that actually sold in Birmingham went for a median £227,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Birmingham is up 66% over the last 10 years and up 4% over the last 12 months (12 months to December 2025). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Yes: asking prices in Birmingham are typically lower than across the UK. The median asking price in Birmingham is £240,000 against £350k across the UK: 31% below the UK. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
