Ranked from the Property Price Register (sales) and the RTB (rents), the same data behind every town page. Price-change boards only include towns with at least 50 sales in both the last 12 months and the 12 months before, and the yield board towns with at least 40 sales in the last 12 months, so a handful of transactions can't top a list. The sales count beside each town is the count its figure rests on. A very large year-on-year jump often reflects a change in what sold (more new or higher-value homes) rather than pure price growth, so treat the steepest moves as a signal to look closer, not a valuation.

Property Price Register sales to 25 September 2026, CSO RPPI to July 2026, RTB rents to Q4 2025. How we compute these figures
