Lets break down last months statistics and figures for the Doncaster property market!🏡
Supply & Homes For Sale
Let’s start with supply.
In February, there were 1,485 properties for sale across Doncaster. That is the highest level in the past six years and well above average.
New listings reached 318 properties, also ahead of last year.
This is being driven by seasonal timing and growing confidence. As we move into spring, more sellers are coming to market, particularly in family areas like Bessacarr, Cantley, and Armthorpe where moves are often planned around the school year.
For buyers, this means more choice. For sellers, it means more competition.
Pricing
Now let’s look at pricing.
The average asking price is £238,252, showing steady growth year on year.
Price per square foot is now £219, continuing its upward trend and giving a clearer view of long term value.
For homes going under offer, the average price is £221,392, with agreed price per square foot at £206, both at their strongest levels.
What is driving this is simple. Buyers are drawn to the space and value Doncaster offers.
Areas like Lakeside for modern homes, Sprotbrough and Cusworth for character and green space, and Tickhill and Bawtry for a village feel all continue to attract demand.
Sales Activity
Sales activity remains steady.
In February, 229 homes were marked as sold subject to contract. This is slightly down from recent highs but in line with the long term average.
This reflects a market that is settling into a normal rhythm rather than slowing down.
Doncaster’s strong transport links, including direct rail services and access to the A1 and M18, continue to support consistent buyer demand.
Market Mechanics
Looking behind the scenes, the market is working well.
There were 177 price reductions, showing that some sellers are still adjusting to increased competition.
With more homes available, buyers have options, so accurate pricing from the start is key.
Withdrawals were 111, which is in line with normal levels and shows sellers are staying committed.
Fall throughs were just 39, the lowest on record.
This is a strong sign that once sales are agreed, they are far more likely to complete.
What Is Driving This Right Now
The market is being driven by a combination of value, location, and lifestyle.
Buyers can get more space for their money compared to nearby cities.
There is access to green spaces like Sandall Park and Cusworth Hall, along with countryside around Sprotbrough.
And strong transport links make it a practical choice for commuters.
On top of that, continued regeneration is improving the town’s appeal.
What Does This Mean For Buyers And Sellers
For buyers, there is more choice and some room to negotiate.
However, with values per square foot still rising, delaying decisions could mean paying more later.
For sellers, demand is there but competition is higher.
Pricing correctly from the start is essential, especially in popular areas like Bessacarr, Cantley, and Tickhill.
The positive is that agreed sales are holding together well, which makes for a smoother process once a buyer is secured.
Closing Thoughts
That was your February market update for Doncaster.
Stock levels are high, prices are rising steadily, and the market is functioning well overall.
It is competitive, but active and stable.
There is some uncertainty in the wider world right now, particularly with the ongoing troubles in the Middle East.
As always, events like this can influence confidence, mortgage rates, and buyer behaviour. So it will be interesting to see how this impacts the March figures.
For now, Doncaster remains a market built on value, space, and strong local appeal as we head into spring.
