The week in numbers
| Week to 3 October | Week to 26 September | |
|---|---|---|

- 59 detached houses
- 14 new builds
How we worked this out: every home for sale that came onto home.co.uk with a postcode from B1 to B48 in the seven days to 3 October 2026, excluding commercial property. These postcodes take in some neighbouring towns, such as Solihull, Coleshill and Wythall, and leave out Sutton Coldfield (B72 to B76). A median is the middle asking price, so a few very expensive homes don't drag it up.
Five that stand out
We picked these from homes listed directly with Home by local agents that week, using the rules in each heading. Each one links to the full listing, and the photos are the agent's own. Prices are as listed unless we say they have changed; the listing always shows the current price.
The most expensive: a refurbished four-bedroom semi in Harborne, £800,000
Park Hill Road, B17, guide price £800,000. The agent describes it as a superbly refurbished family home, with an open-plan reception room between two fireplaces, a kitchen with French doors to a landscaped garden, a separate utility room and a converted loft for the fourth bedroom. It's offered with no chain.

The biggest family house: five bedrooms, detached, £525,000

The most bedrooms for the money: five bedrooms for £330,000
Hallewell Road, B16, £330,000, which works out at £66,000 a bedroom. The agent pitches it as a development opportunity close to the city centre and Edgbaston, with potential as a house in multiple occupation, and it's sold with no upward chain. Expect to spend money on it.

The cheapest house: a two-bedroom terrace with a garage, £170,000
Forde Way Gardens, B38, £170,000. Two double bedrooms, a rear garden and a garage, with no chain. The agent flags it as a renovation project of non-standard construction. That matters, because some lenders won't lend on non-standard homes, so check with a mortgage adviser before you view.

The cheapest home on the open market: a studio flat in Harborne, guide price £90,000
Cardinal Close, B17, guide price £90,000, reduced from £100,000 since it was listed. A refurbished first-floor studio with allocated parking, sold with its furniture and appliances and no chain. It's leasehold and sold by the modern method of auction, which usually means a reservation fee on top of the price and a fixed time to complete, so read the auction terms first.

What this means if you're looking in Birmingham
New listings held steady week on week, at 401 against 405, and the median asking price moved up by £10,000. One week is a small sample, so read it as a snapshot rather than a trend. Our house price index tracks the longer picture. Asking prices aren't sale prices: for the prices homes sold for, HM Land Registry's sold house prices cover completed sales in England and Wales.
You can see every home for sale in the city on Birmingham property search, or narrow it to houses or flats. If you're selling, an instant valuation shows where your home sits against these prices, and Find My Agent compares local agents on their real results. When you're ready to move, Homemove can quote for surveys, conveyancing and removals.
