B4’s property prices have bounced like a football in Centenary Square since 2018, with average figures moving from moderate to positively eye-watering. For locals watching the market’s every twitch, a few storylines stand out in B4’s recent property history:
- Property prices have soared, with the average now nudging above £321,000 and a bold projected jump for 2025, shaping B4 into a spot that’s a world away from its 2018 baseline.
- Transaction volumes whizz up and down like trams outside Snow Hill – from just a handful in the late 2010s to a spectacular peak of 206 sales in 2022, before tapering off again. Those spikes and dips hint at shifting demand, possible new build launches, or outside influences that hit buyers' appetites hard.
- Over the last five years, B4’s reputation has subtly shifted. More people are looking for that unbeatable blend: city-centre convenience, with developments and jobs almost on your doorstep.
For anyone thinking about putting down roots, or hoping to bag a city pad, keep your eye on the B4 market. It’s less predictable than the weather on New Street, but those bold price rises are hard to ignore. Like locals say, “in B4, you blink and you’ll miss the bargain.”

The property price picture in B4 is anything but boring. Flats in the area have seen just two transactions since 2021, a number so low it almost floats away like helium at a Brummie street party. With rarer sales, there’s that sense of exclusivity, sometimes leading to figures that seem to drift above local expectations.
Terraced properties, conversely, are changing hands with remarkable regularity, clocking up a vibrant 271 transactions. If you're a first-time buyer or a canny investor, terraced homes might feel like the beating heart of B4 — accessible, compact and unmistakably in demand. The cost per square foot for terraces is anything but shy, hinting that centrality and walk-to-everything convenience remain highly prized for buyers after that energetic city buzz.
- Flats, despite their spacious layouts, look almost out of reach for most, while terraced homes seem to invite the widest range of buyers, from city newcomers to local families.
- If these trends persist, we could see terraced prices balloon even further — they’re already moving quicker than the queues at Birmingham’s Digbeth Dining Club.
- On the flip side, the flat market feels almost too quiet — is demand hibernating, or waiting to pop up with spectacular vigour in the next few years?
So what's the summary? If you want to get in where the action is, terraces lead the charge, but keep an eye on those rare flats. When the right one appears, it could set tongues wagging across the city.
