Gross yield is the RTB average annual rent over the 12-month median sale price. Sales (12m) is the number of register sales the median rests on. 28 towns have a rent and a median but under 40 sales, too thin for a yield, and are not ranked here. Year-on-year is left blank under 50 sales in either of the two 12-month windows it compares.
Property Price Register sales to 9 October 2026, CSO RPPI to August 2026, RTB rents to Q4 2025. How we compute these figures
