Average rent in Ballybrit

From the rents on tenancies registered with the Residential Tenancies Board in Ballybrit, Co. Galway.

The average rent registered in Ballybrit was €1,391 a month in October to December 2023.

On the same quarter a year earlier it rose 7.9%, from €1,289. Over the five years on this page it rose 23.4%.

This is the last figure the Board published for this area, from October to December 2023, roughly 2 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 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.

What this figure is, and what it is not

It is the average rent on tenancies in Ballybrit 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.

Buying instead of renting in Ballybrit

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. Imported 9 September 2026. The yearly figures come from the annual table rather than from averaging the quarters, because averaging four averages would produce a figure the Board never published.
