What’s the housing market in Sheffield like in 2025?

There has been some significant movement in Sheffield’s housing market this year, with almost all property types suffering a drop in the total number sold, according to Home.co.uk. Flats seemed to have taken the biggest hit with a 68% drop in the number sold in the year to August 2025. This is an added frustration for owners of flats and apartments, given that they had to wait an average of 230 days to find the right buyer during the same period, but that was down from 270 days in November 2024. 

Detached properties also spent less time on the market last year, with such properties selling in 115 days. Owners of semi-detached homes didn’t have the same luck, with their average time to sell creeping up over the three-month mark. 

Our own Karl McArdle at The Property Buying Company gave his thoughts on the options available to homeowners in Sheffield:

Here’s a look at what’s been having an impact on the housing market in Sheffield recently: 

Semi-detached homes proving popular in Sheffield

Owners of semi-detached houses have had the shortest times spent on the market in the past year, with only three months passing before the right buyer comes along. Moreover, Rightmove had semi-detached properties down as making up the majority of house sales in Steel City over the past year.

❌ The bad news: Sellers of other house types are facing longer waits on the open market to sell up and move on with their lives.

✔ The good news: No matter what type of house you have, The Property Buying Company can buy it from you for a fair price in a matter of days.

House prices in Sheffield are rising more slowly than the regional average

According to ONS data, Sheffield’s property prices stayed more or less the same over the past year, with the valuation coming out at £214,000 in the year to September 2025. Comparatively, houses across the Yorkshire and The Humber region averaged a 4.5% increase over the same period.

❌ The bad news: Homeowners trying to time their sale to get the most value out of their home are fighting a losing battle, such is the unpredictability of the market.

✔ The good news: The Property Buying Company can give you a free cash offer within 24 hours and complete in days if you need to move quickly.

No matter your circumstances, we can buy your Sheffield house from you quickly and painlessly—we often complete sales within a couple of weeks, so you might be able to move on quicker than you thought. We’ll buy any property in any condition, whether it’s an old family home or an inherited property, so it’s worth getting in touch for your free cash offer today. 

How to sell your house quickly in Sheffield

You have two main options to sell your house fast in Sheffield: (1) at a local property auction or (2) to a cash buyer company like us. You can, of course, always choose to go down the traditional route and sell on the open market with an estate agent, but that can be a much slower process.

The fees involved with using estate agents and solicitors can be significant, so there are savings in terms of both time and money to be made by choosing another route. Here’s how your options compare: 

The most recent ONS data available might make for frustrating reading for Sheffield homeowners, with house prices remaining rather stagnant, but it’s not all bad news. Average rental rates crept over the £900 mark in the year to October 2025, with landlords now charging 4.9% more per month for private properties, so the interest from investors in buy-to-let homes will be on the rise to capitalise on greater yields.

If we look at Rightmove’s indication of house prices in Sheffield, we can see that the average sold price of £260,661 was, in fact, 2% higher than it was at the same time last year. That’s why it’s so crucial for anyone looking to sell to check multiple sources so they know the true value of their homes before they go to market or sell to a cash buyer. 

The uncertainty of the open market can, indeed, lead many people to selling to cash buyers instead—the guarantee of a sale is the peace of mind they need to make their move, whether they’re securing their dream home or selling a probate property. 

Here’s how easy it is to get started:
