How these figures are calculated
Data source
All transaction data is sourced from the Residential Property Price Register (PPR), maintained by the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA). The PPR is a public record of all residential property sales filed with Revenue since January 2010.
Median vs mean
We report the median (middle value) rather than the mean (average). The median is less sensitive to extreme high-value transactions and better represents the price most buyers actually pay. The mean is typically 10–20% higher.
County classification
Properties are classified by county using the Eircode routing key and address data filed in the PPR. A small proportion of transactions (~2%) with ambiguous addresses are excluded.
Income data
Median household income figures used in the price-to-income calculation are sourced from the CSO Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC), published annually.
Update frequency
This page is updated quarterly. Data on this page covers transactions through 31 December 2025.
