In cash terms the typical DN3 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £191,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DN3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+38.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.1% | −8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £260,000 against £100,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

How many homes change hands in DN3
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 395 sales completed in DN3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 657 sales a year before the financial crisis and 425 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around DN3
The local authority for DN3 is Doncaster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £689 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £489 a month here against £1,070 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Doncaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £191,500 median purchase price, a rent of £689 a month (£8,268 a year) works out at a 4.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in DN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DN area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £145,000 | £158,000 (+9%) | £178,000 (+13%) | £245,000 (+38%) | £312,500 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £117,000 | £110,000 (-6%) | £116,000 (+5%) | £165,000 (+42%) | £265,000 (+61%) |
| Flat | £90,000 | £105,500 (+17%) | £145,000 (+37%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
