Monthly residential transaction volume — the count of properties sold and recorded on the Property Price Register — is the most direct measure of market activity. High transaction volumes indicate strong buyer confidence, available credit, and sufficient seller motivation. Sharp drops in volume typically precede price corrections by 2–4 quarters.
Volume data is available at national and county level, allowing investors to identify local markets where activity is above or below trend. In constrained supply markets like Dublin, persistently low transaction volumes despite strong demand can be an early indicator of future price pressure as available stock erodes.
