How Woodlands Street, Smethwick prices moved
The chart tracks the median Woodlands Street, Smethwick house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2007. 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 | 2 | £20,500 | £45,520 |
| 2000s | 7 | £67,500 | £122,965 |
The highest yearly median on record for Woodlands Street, Smethwick is £100,000 in 2007; the lowest is £20,500 in 1997. Across the full 13-year record the cash median has moved from £26,000 to £100,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £57,732, so the real change over the whole record is +201.1% — about +9.62% 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: +387.8% in cash against +300.0% 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. Woodlands Street, Smethwick 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 106 | 85.5% | £57,900 | £12,000 – £233,000 |
| Semi-detached | 18 | 14.5% | £83,000 | £31,950 – £225,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Woodlands Street, Smethwick
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 123 freehold — 0.8% 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 £15,500 and the median freehold sale £65,000 — a gap of +319.4%. 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 | 1 | 0.8% | £15,500 |
| Freehold | 123 | 99.2% | £65,000 |
A further 14 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 Woodlands Street, Smethwick compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Woodlands Street, Smethwick sits below that national figure — -58.7%.
Within Smethwick the street ranks 272 of 306 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £100,000 (-35.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £777 per square metre, across 49 of the 124 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

When were Woodlands Street, Smethwick house prices at their highest?
