House prices by county: the 2026 league table
One table, 26 rows: what a home sold for in each county over the last 12 months, how that moved on the year and since 2021, and how many changed hands. County Dublin is the dearest at a median of €476,000 and County Longford the cheapest at €200,000 — 2.4× apart. 4 counties sit above the Ireland median of €375,000. Most counties rose on the year: Roscommon fastest at +16.9%, Limerick slowest at -0.6%. Since 2021, Roscommon has risen most (+80.8%) and Wicklow least (+25.3%); Ireland as a whole: +43.1%.

Reading the table
The county median is the broadest number on Addris and the one most often quoted, so two cautions. It is the middle sale in a county, and inside every county the towns spread far wider than the counties do from each other — the most expensive and cheapest town lists show a 2.4× spread between counties and a far bigger one within them. And it moves with what sold: a county where new estates completed reads higher this year than its second-hand homes would suggest, which is why the new-build story sits beside this one.
The five-year column is the steadier read. The counties that started cheapest in 2021 have risen most in percentage terms, and the dearest have risen least — a narrowing that the five-year story traces town by town. Sales per 1,000 residents is turnover: how much of a county's housing changes hands in a year, the liquidity behind the price.
Method and sources
- Sales: residential sales in the Property Price Register (PSRA), placed on the map by Eircode, street or locality and counted inside each county's boundary (Tailte Éireann, CC BY 4.0). Register prices are the declared price; new-build prices exclude VAT.
- Windows: the 12 months to the latest register update, against the 12 months before; calendar-year medians for 2021 and 2026 to date. The register lags sales by weeks to months.
- Population: CSO Census 2022, table FY003A "Population" by administrative county — https://data.cso.ie/table/FY003A, summed to county.
- Reproducible: computed from the register as published; the same figures are on each county page and in the Addris Report. Data to 2026-09-20.
