Average house price in Wolverhampton rises above £200,000 in June
House prices in Wolverhampton increased slightly in June 2025, new figures show.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show the average Wolverhampton house price in June was £200,661 – a 0.6 per cent increase on May.
The picture was different to that across West Midlands, where prices increased by 1.8 per cent.
The rise in Wolverhampton contributes to the longer-term trend in the area, which has seen property prices in the area grow by 1.1 per cent over the last year.
It means the area ranked 25th among West Midlands’s 30 local authorities for annual growth, with the average price in Wolverhampton rising by £2,200 over the past year.
The highest annual growth in West Midlands was in North Warwickshire, where property prices increased on average by 10.8 per cent.
At the other end of the scale, properties in Malvern Hills lost 2.7 per cent of their value.
The average UK house price increased by 3.7 per cent in the 12 months to June.
ONS head of housing market indices Aimee North said: "House price annual inflation continues to pick up with the average UK house price now at around £269,000."
Jean Jameson, chief sales officer at Foxtons, said: "July brought a steady pace of activity, even as the summer holidays took some buyers and sellers out of the market.
"That said, well-priced homes, especially one and two-bed flats where supply is strongest, continued to attract interest.
"We've also seen an encouraging shift in sentiment following the recent base rate cut, which should support a pick-up in activity as we move towards the autumn."
Nathan Emerson, chief executive of Propertymark, said: "House price growth is widely regarded as being an important factor in boosting overall economic progress, so it is reassuring to see yet more headway as the housing market continues to see momentum.
"Despite the impact that Stamp Duty hikes and domestic and global factors have had on the economy, there are still convincing reasons to be optimistic about the property market in general.
"Total housing construction output has grown recently, and the UK Government and the devolved administrations are keen to meet their ambitious housing targets.
"Additional new housing stock should provide people with extra choice in the longer term and help enable those who aspire to buy grasp their ambitions."
