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 20 sales in the last year, so a handful of transactions can't top the list. 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.
