The property market continues to evolve, and staying informed can make all the difference whether you're buying, selling or simply keeping an eye on your home's value. In this month's update, we take a look at the latest national property trends, what's happening here in Solihull, how long homes are taking to sell and what we expect to see over the coming months.

As we move further into 2026, the rental market across Solihull and the wider West Midlands is showing clear signs of stabilising after several years of rapid growth.

February saw house prices stabilise following a very strong start to the year in January.

The rental market entered 2026 in a more balanced position compared to recent years. Supply has improved slightly, though demand remains strong in many areas.

January saw a strong start to the year, with asking prices rising sharply at the beginning of 2026. Although prices stood still in early February, January’s uplift means average asking prices are now 2.8% higher than December, marking the strongest start to a year since 2020.
