Doncaster Q3 Market Update 🗺️📍
👋 For those interested in the Doncaster Property Market, this video is for you!
So let’s dive in to see what’s been happening over the last 3 months because there’s a lot of noise out there, but the data paints a clear picture.
🏡 Supply & New Properties available for sale
The number of homes for sale in Doncaster has dropped slightly — down 6% on this time last year.
For buyers this means less choice than last year, but still more properties than we used to see before the pandemic. Generally for sellers, this is good news as they may face less competition from their neighbours.
It feels like a property market finding its balance after an interesting few years with Covid and the interest rate hikes — overall it feels quite healthy, with good options for buyers but then not the over supply we saw in Doncaster 6-12 months ago.
💷 Prices
Now, onto prices — and this is where the story gets really interesting.
Average asking prices have jumped to £246,000, up 6% year-on-year, the now sits at the highest level we’ve seen in Doncaster.
And here’s the key bit — it’s not just the headline prices going up; price per square foot has risen by over 5%, which means sellers are looking to cash in on buyers willing to pay for more for space.
In fact, zooming out further, asking prices have climbed nearly 24% in the last five years, which shows how far Doncaster’s market has come since 2020.
Of course with all asking prices, you can ask but it doesn’t mean you’ll get and as mentioned buyers have choice and they demand value for money.
What is happening with actual transactions 🤝
If we compare this last 3 months with the same 3 months in 2024, sales agreed are up 8% however the figures were down from that of Q2 of 2025 so a little bit of yo-yo -ing effect.
ow did Q3 2025 compare to the average Q3 over the last 6 years in Doncaster? I’m pleased to say that against the average, Q3 of 2025 showed an increase of 6.7% sales being agreed.
That’s a great sign of confidence from buyers with mortgage rates being more favourable in most cases.
And it’s being backed up by the numbers — the average agreed sale price in Doncaster over the last 3 months has risen to around £220,000.
So sellers aren’t just asking for more; they’re actually achieving more too.
All signs pointing towards a relatively healthy market in Doncaster.
We’ve also seen a slight uptick in price changes, around 4% more properties for sale are adjusting their asking prices compared with last year — again, a sign that sellers are adjusting where needed, not sitting stubbornly with an overpriced property which is probably struggling with serious viewings/ offers.
📉 Withdrawals & Fall-throughs
Withdrawals — sellers taking their homes off the market — have dropped sharply, down 22%.
That’s big.
It means people who list are actually following through — they’re committed and confident they’ll get a sale, no doubt helped by the price re-alignment with market expectations, whether sellers are figuring that out for themselves or are getting the guidance and support from their agent.
Now, the dreaded Fall-throughs.
Sadly these have gone up, yes — around 19% higher than last year — but with more transactions overall, that’s expected.
Roughly three out of four sales are still completing successfully, which is around average. If you are concerned about fall throughs and interested in knowing how to reduce this risk then have a chat with one of our team around deposits and reservations agreements which are shown to reduce fall through rates to around 4% as opposed to 25%!
🧭 What It All Means
So, what’s the big picture?
Doncaster’s market right now is steady, confident, and affordable — that sweet spot where prices are growing but still within reach for most buyers.
Buyers: there’s still room to negotiate, but don’t hang around. The best homes are selling, and waiting for price drops probably won’t pay off.
Sellers: confidence is justified. If your pricing is sensible and your presentation strong, you’ll attract serious buyers fast.
And for investors — Doncaster continues to deliver strong value with prices still well below other Yorkshire towns but with all the right fundamentals behind growth: regeneration, jobs, transport, and affordability.
💬 Closing Thoughts
So, overall — Q3 has been a story of measured confidence and sustainable growth.
Doncaster isn’t booming out of control — it’s building on solid ground.
