Digbeth property market: common questions

Where is Digbeth?

Digbeth is in central Birmingham, in West Midlands. Figures for Digbeth cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Digbeth?

The median asking price across the 159 homes for sale in Digbeth is £170,000 (as of 20 August 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 £135,000 and £227,500. That is 29% below Birmingham. Homes that actually sold in Digbeth went for a median £161,250 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

How many homes are for sale in Digbeth?

159 homes are on the market in Digbeth right now, 33 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

Are house prices being cut in Digbeth?

14 listings in Digbeth had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 9% of the homes currently for sale.

How long are homes on the market in Digbeth?

Of the Digbeth listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 43 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

What is the price per square foot in Digbeth?

In Digbeth, homes that sold went for a median £230 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £259 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (159 in Digbeth), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Digbeth cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Digbeth since June 2025.
  • Birmingham comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Birmingham, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
