The market

How many homes sold in Barnsley each year, and how many were new-build homes sold.

Homes sold in 2025

4,174

1% fewer than 2024. 3% below the ten-year average.

New-build homes sold in 2025

8% of the homes sold.

Whole years only: 2025 is the last full year, and nearly every sale in it has now been recorded. This year will show once it is over.

New-build homes sold counts only new homes sold to a buyer. Homes built for the council or a housing association, blocks built to rent out, and most shared ownership homes are not sold this way, so more homes are built each year than this shows.
