How Birch Crescent, Oldbury prices moved
The chart tracks the median Birch Crescent, Oldbury house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £37,000 | £82,157 |
| 2000s | 6 | £92,000 | £167,597 |
| 2010s | 3 | £104,000 | £146,640 |
| 2020s | 2 | £163,500 | £167,054 |
The highest yearly median on record for Birch Crescent, Oldbury is £200,500 in 2025; the lowest is £34,250 in 1997. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £37,000 to £200,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £82,157, so the real change over the whole record is +149.3% — about +3.09% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +85.2% in cash against +34.2% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Birch Crescent, Oldbury is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 134 | 96.4% | £99,950 | £20,000 – £220,000 |
| Terraced | 5 | 3.6% | £89,950 | £42,000 – £95,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Birch Crescent, Oldbury
3 of the sales on record are leasehold and 136 freehold — 2.2% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £41,250 and the median freehold sale £99,950 — a gap of +142.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 3 | 2.2% | £41,250 |
| Freehold | 136 | 97.8% | £99,950 |
A further 7 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How Birch Crescent, Oldbury compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Birch Crescent, Oldbury sits below that national figure — -36.8%.
Within Oldbury the street ranks 310 of 500 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £110,000 (-9.5%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £20,000 to £220,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Birch Crescent, Oldbury?
The median price paid in Birch Crescent, Oldbury across every sale on the register is £99,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Birch Crescent, Oldbury?
139 sales are on record for Birch Crescent, Oldbury, the most recent completing on 18 Dec 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +85.2% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +34.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Birch Crescent, Oldbury house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £200,500, set in 2025. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
