DY3 Property Prices: Area by Area Breakdown

The DY3 property scene has been busier than Merry Hill on Boxing Day, and the numbers are proof. Detached homes are shining at the top, soaking up the limelight with vast living space and eye-watering average prices, while flats play it coy with their thrifty cost per square foot and modest floor plans. It’s as if the market is throwing a party and everyone’s brought a different sized bottle of pop.

Semi-detached properties might not win any beauty contests, but they’re the workhorses of Dudley’s transactions, clocking up a dazzling 582 sales since 2021. Clearly, everyone fancies a slice of suburbia. The average price tag provides a rather appealing halfway house for families who want space but don’t quite have mansions on their vision boards.

On the flipside, terraced homes are like that one reliable mate in the group, always steady on value and size. For those not ready to commit to a mortgage that feels like a second job, terraces keep things sane and (comparatively) affordable. Flats, meanwhile, are still fluttering around the bottom rung, perfect for first-timers, downsizers, and the “I don’t need a lawn” crowd.

The cost per square foot does scatter across the types, with detached properties swaggering above the rest, but it’s hardly a free-for-all. In fact, there’s something for everyone hiding in these figures - you just need to decide if you’re after more space, a modest mortgage, or a spot you can clean in twenty minutes flat.

So, what are the key takeaway points?

• Bigger budgets chase detached homes for room to swing a cat, while families hungry for space with less guilt to their wallet are flocking to semis.
• Terraced homes are ticking boxes for those chasing a cheerful balance of price and practicality.
• Flats, ever the urban underdogs, still offer a gateway to the local ladder (and a rapidly hoovered living room).
