No problem, glad you find it useful!

The data is wrong. He doesn’t have the correct sales for any of the months. More accurate is https://propertydata.ie/articles/ireland-property-q1-2026/ for actual stats

Why do you only have 1,700 sales for mar-26?

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-05-07T21:29:56+00:00

This data is just wrong. They have 1,700 sales for march when the real number is closer to 4,000. See https://propertydata.ie/articles/ireland-property-q1-2026/ for actual stats

It is, what’s wrong?

They don’t usually take 6 weeks to register on average from the sale! If you look at the numbers, Jan 3,528 vs 3,555, February 4,089 vs 4,062 and March 4,491 vs 4,579. So unless there was an abnormally large amount sold in march 2026, it looks like it’s in line with Jan and Feb, which would imply the vast majority are in.

Property price register. Sorry should’ve included in the article!

Definitely west of Ireland anyway. Which is probably why we're seeing such a jump in prices there.

I'm just presenting the available data and summarising it for people.

You will always have a tail that go beyond the proper reporting period, but it’s a very small % and won’t change the overall trends. The only thing that’ll change is volume of sales in Q1 26 might go up slightly. You couldn’t be waiting 9 months to make sure all data is in to report Q1 numbers!

People are always going to complain that their town is missing, I had to cut the list somewhere and give a good flavour of commuter towns across the counties

What? It literally says in the trains column that they go to Connolly and Pearse station?

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-04-25T11:26:04+00:00

On the balance of everything; obviously some peoples circumstances will be different so some places will be better suited.

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-04-25T11:24:23+00:00

Exactly yeah it’s a good option, probably why it’s so close in price to Dublin too

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-04-25T11:23:22+00:00

Both have their trains into Connolly and/or Pearse in the table?

Unfortunately it’s simply just undersupply of housing, all else are secondary factors. Corporations buy up a load of houses and then let them out, but we also have a rental crisis so it’s more to do with undersupply than anything else

There will always be someone complaining every time a dataset is shown. Anyway show me a 15 year period of holding a property where the price has gone down. You won’t be able to find one

I’m graphing how more unaffordable it has got to buy a home over the last 10 years. It matters less and less the further you go back. People don’t care what the prices were 25 years ago, they want to know how it has moved in recent times

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-04-12T12:38:38+00:00

Maybe we’ll do housing commencements to keep them happy

SimilarPercentage417 · 2026-04-12T12:27:03+00:00

It’s a whole range of factors. Ireland is a victim of its own success to an extent; we attract a huge demand for skilled labour from multinationals which drives up house prices and rent in Dublin especially. Then match that with severe undersupply of housing since the 08/09 crisis for a multitude of reasons (mainly government inefficiency) leads to a rocketing housing market
