Solihull continues to be one of the West Midlands’ most desirable places to live, combining excellent transport links, high-performing schools, green spaces and a vibrant town centre. But how is the property market in Solihull performing in 2025? Whether you’re thinking of selling, buying or both, understanding the latest market trends can help you make smart, confident decisions.
Here’s a clear, jargon-free look at what you need to know about the Solihull property market right now.
A snapshot of the Solihull property market
According to the latest Land Registry data, average property prices in Solihull have risen modestly over the past 12 months. While growth has slowed compared to the boom years during and after the pandemic, Solihull remains resilient.
- The current average price of a property in Solihull stands around £365,000
- Detached homes lead the way, averaging over £590,000
- Semi-detached properties come in at £360,000 on average
- Flats and apartments remain more affordable, averaging £190,000
This gentle upward trend suggests the market is stabilising after a period of volatility, giving both buyers and sellers a bit more predictability.
What this means for sellers
If you’re considering selling your home in Solihull, there’s encouraging news. Demand remains high for well-presented homes, especially those within school catchment areas like Tudor Grange or Arden Academy.
Buyers are particularly drawn to:
- Quiet cul-de-sacs near Solihull town centre
- Family-friendly neighbourhoods like Hillfield and Monkspath
- Homes close to Solihull Station or Olton Station for commuting
While pricing competitively is key in today’s market, homes in prime condition are still attracting strong interest and offers close to asking price.

What this means for buyers
Buyers in Solihull are facing more choice than in recent years, with stock levels slowly increasing. That means less pressure to rush and a better chance of finding the right fit. However, competition for the best homes is still fierce, especially for three-bedroom semis and properties near top-rated schools.
Tips for buyers:
- Get your mortgage agreement in principle ready
- Be clear on your must-haves and nice-to-haves
- Work with a local agent who understands the market inside out
Hunters Solihull have access to properties that may not yet be listed online, so it’s worth registering your details to get ahead of the crowd.
Rising interest in energy efficiency
One noticeable trend is the growing importance of energy efficiency. More buyers are asking about EPC ratings and future-proofing. If you’re selling, small upgrades like LED lighting, smart thermostats, and loft insulation can make your home more appealing.

- Regeneration around Solihull town centre is improving local amenities and increasing property appeal
These changes mean Solihull’s property market isn’t just standing still — it’s evolving.
