What this year is not
A median is the middle sale, not the average and not the value of any particular house. Where a town sold ten houses in a year, its median is one of ten numbers and moves easily. The county figure sits on far more sales and moves far less, which is why the two can tell different stories about the same year.
The register also records what was filed for stamp duty rather than what the buyer arranged, and it carries no floor area, so there is no price per square metre anywhere on this site.

How to read an entry on the Property Price Register
The date is not the sale date, the address is whatever the solicitor typed, and about 15.2% of entries in our town-level comparison sample carry no Eircode. What each field means.
Why the price on the register is not what the buyer paid
About 10.4% of sales in our town-level comparison sample are filed without the VAT the buyer paid on top. A €400,000 new build appears as €352,423. How to spot one and what to add back.
What a house actually gained between two sales
1,099 properties in our town-level comparison sample have sold more than once. Matching the two sales gives a real gain on a real house, which is a different thing to a national index.
