In January to March 2014, 3,796 homes sold across Leinster at a median of €175,000, +7.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. The repeat-sales index, which compares properties with their own earlier sale and so is not moved by a change in the mix of what sold, was unchanged over the year, on 843 matched pairs. The CSO's own index for the same regions moved +10.7% over the same period. New builds were 13% of sales.

County figures are medians, so they move with the mix of what sold as well as with price. The index above controls for that; a county median does not. Sales counts for recent quarters are a floor, because the register keeps accepting filings for weeks after a sale closes.
