What the sales say
The kind of place Drumalee is
Read out of the sales themselves. None of this is a description of what Drumalee is like to live in, which we have no way of knowing. It is what changed hands here.
Houses much of a muchness
The dearer end of the middle half of sales went for 1.37 times the cheaper end, which is a narrow band. Places built as estates look like this, because the houses really are much the same.
In line with Cavan
The median here sat within a quarter of the county median in 2025, so it tracks the county rather than standing apart from it.
Rarely comes up
18 sales counted in 2025. At that rate, waiting for the right house here means waiting.

New against second hand
New builds in Drumalee
In 2018 the median new build in Drumalee sold for €136,648, against €142,500 for a second hand home, which puts new builds 4% below the rest of the market here. That is over 10 new build sales and 14 second hand ones.
The new build figure is reconstructed rather than recorded. A new home goes on the register at its price before Value Added Tax, so the filed figure has been multiplied by 1.135 to get back to what the buyer paid. New build prices across the country.

How the place was worked out
The register has no town column. It has an address, and the place is read out of it: the county is stripped off and the part left at the end is the locality. Addresses that end in a street name rather than a place are not counted towards anywhere.
A place appears here only where at least forty sales were recorded in it, and a figure is printed for a year only where at least ten sales sat behind it.

Worth reading beside this
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.
