Method and sources

Sales are residential transactions in the Residential Property Price Register (Property Services Regulatory Authority) with a sale date in the quarter, excluding sales flagged as not full market price, multi-unit sales, and prices under €10,000 or over €15 million — the filter the Addris map applies. Medians are unweighted. New builds are sales recorded exclusive of VAT; apartments are identified from the address line. Planning figures are applications in the National Planning Application Database (Tailte Éireann) and council feeds by submission and decision date; per-capita rates use Census 2022 populations by administrative county (CSO table FY003A, CC BY 4.0). Town and Eircode-area figures use the same rectangular boxes the Addris map opens for each place. Generated 7 September 2026.
