Average rent in Dublin 17

From the rents on tenancies registered with the Residential Tenancies Board in Dublin 17, Co. Dublin.

The average rent registered in Dublin 17 was €1,593 a month in July to September 2021.

This is the last figure the Board published for this area, from July to September 2021, roughly 4 years ago. It has published nothing since, which happens once too few tenancies are registered in a place to report one without identifying them. Treat it as what rent was then, not what it is now.

The shape of it

Quarter by quarter

  1. Q1 2021€1,483
  2. Q2 2021€1,529
  3. Q3 2021€1,593

The bars do not start at zero. A rent series never goes near it, and a bar drawn from zero would make every quarter look identical.

By number of bedrooms

  1. One bed€1,307
  2. Two bed€1,564
  3. Three bed€1,728

Measured at Q3 2021. Where a size is missing, the Board withheld it because too few tenancies of that size were registered to publish a figure.

By property type

  1. Semi detached house€1,841
  2. Apartment€1,541

Measured at Q3 2021.

Year by year

  1. 2008€1,258
  2. 2009€1,122
  3. 2010€991
  4. 2011€939
  5. 2012€922
  6. 2013€944
  7. 2014€1,011
  8. 2015€1,087
  9. 2016€1,156
  10. 2017€1,205
  11. 2018€1,303
  12. 2019€1,414
  13. 2020€1,455
  14. 2021€1,500

What this figure is, and what it is not

It is the average rent on tenancies in Dublin 17 that were registered with the Residential Tenancies Board, which every landlord is required to do. It is an average rather than a median, so a small number of expensive lettings pull it upwards.

It is not the rent being asked in advertisements. An asking rent is what a landlord hopes for and this is what was signed.

It is not what a sitting tenant is likely to be paying either. A tenancy enters this average at the rent agreed when it started and does not enter again, so the figure leans towards recently agreed rents and sits above what somebody who has been in the same home for years pays.

If your own rent is going up, the figure that governs it is not this one. What a landlord may lawfully charge is worked out from the rules and your own history, and the rent increase calculator does that with the figures shown.

A sale median and a rent average are two different statistics about two different sets of homes. Neither one converts into the other and nothing on this site treats them as though it did.

Where this comes from

The quarterly and annual average monthly rent tables published by the Residential Tenancies Board, via the Central Statistics Office, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.
