What is the average house price in Rotherham?

The median asking price across the 197 homes for sale in Rotherham is £180,000 (as of 20 August 2026).

That is 14% below South Yorkshire. Homes that actually sold in Rotherham went for a median £166,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (197 in Rotherham), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Rotherham since April 2026.
  • South Yorkshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of South Yorkshire, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
