A postcode sector like DN4 5 is a single group of streets within DN4 (Doncaster), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical DN4 5 home went from £28,800 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 195%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2004, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2004 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DN4 5 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 (+100.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−52.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.1% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 62 DN4 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 194 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around DN4 5
DN4 5 falls under Doncaster, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£689 a month is £8,268 a year, which against the £185,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How DN4 5 trades
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Common questions on DN4 5 (Balby)
Is DN4 5 (Balby) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in DN4 5 (Balby)?
Are property prices falling in DN4 5 (Balby)?

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is down 3% over five years in cash but down 23% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
What is for sale in DN4 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 231 homes on the market right now, from 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole DN4 district, not just DN4 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 34% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Primrose Place, Doncaster, Doncaster
- Great Central Avenue, Balby, Doncaster
- The Hollows, Bessacarr, Doncaster, DN4, Doncaster
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in DN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DN area, 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%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
