Doncaster 2025 Property Market Roundup
Doncaster Property Market 2025, a year in summary.
As we said goodbye to 2025, Doncaster’s property market told a quietly confident story.
After several years of adjustment following the pandemic, this has been a year where the market found its feet again, not through sharp rises or dramatic swings, but through steady growth, improved confidence, and more balanced conditions.
Looking at activity across the year, Doncaster saw a consistent flow of new homes coming to market, broadly in line with recent years. More importantly, a strong proportion of those homes went on to agree sales, showing that buyer demand didn’t disappear, it simply became more considered and value-driven.
On pricing, 2025 was a genuinely positive year.
Average asking prices moved forward by around 4%, while prices achieved on agreed sales grew by double digits year on year in many parts of Doncaster. That’s an important distinction, because it shows growth wasn’t just hopeful pricing, buyers were backing it up with real offers and completed transactions.
When you zoom out, Doncaster’s longer-term story becomes even clearer.
Since 2020, average values are up by around 25%, which works out at roughly 4 to 5% per year. That’s exactly what a sustainable market looks like, steady progress rather than boom and bust. For homeowners, that’s meant meaningful equity growth, and for buyers, a market that still offers value compared to neighbouring cities.
Houses for sale levels were another key theme.
Throughout 2025, Doncaster typically carried around 1,400 to 1,500 homes for sale at any one time. That’s far healthier than the extreme shortages of 2021, but not so high that the market felt oversupplied. Buyers had choice, but sellers still benefited from realistic competition.
We did still see price reductions and withdrawals, but fewer than in previous years, which tells us the market is learning. Quite simply, homes priced correctly sold. Homes launched too optimistically often had to adjust, and those that adjusted early stood the best chance of success. That message was consistent all year, pricing right from day one mattered more than ever.
Location-wise, demand remained strong across Doncaster.
Premium areas like Bessacarr, Cantley, and parts of Sprotbrough continued to attract family buyers, while Wheatley, Armthorpe, Edlington, and Rossington remained vital entry points for first-time buyers. That mix of buyers is one of Doncaster’s biggest strengths, especially when combined with its transport links and ongoing regeneration.
So as we move into 2026, Doncaster’s property market feels like it has a strong foundation breathing confidence into buyers and sellers.
