Calendar years; a year’s median needs 5 sales of the type, so gaps are years with fewer.
Prices are as paid, not adjusted for inflation. Standard (category A) sales only; Land Registry adds a sale when it is registered, so the newest months fill in later.
Hardly any new homes: 1.2% of sales in the last 12 months
788 new homes have been sold in Rawmarsh since 1995; the share peaked at 28% in 1998.
Calendar years with 10 or more sales, then the last 12 months.
A new home sold for a median £374,950
against £150,500 for a home sold on, 149% more, over three years. New homes are often a different mix from the homes sold on, so part of the gap is size and type.
3% of sales were leasehold
Nearly every flat in England and Wales is leasehold; among houses, 2% sold leasehold in Rawmarsh. A leasehold buyer owns the home for a fixed term and may pay ground rent and service charges; check the lease before you buy.

34 streets had five or more sales from Sep 2023 to Aug 2026, 10 of them ten or more. A busy street is often a new estate selling its first homes, or a long road of terraces and flats.
