House prices in Cork in 2015

Every sale filed for stamp duty in Cork that year, as recorded on the Property Price Register.

The median house in Cork sold for €160,000 in 2015, across 4,611 sales that counted.

On 2014 it rose 9.6%.

The national median that year was €165,000, so Cork sat 3% below it.

The middle half of sales fell between €95,000 and €240,000. New builds were 13% of them. 822 further sales were set aside as not at arm’s length or recorded without the tax the buyer paid.

Dearest first

Towns in Cork in 2015

A town appears here only where enough sales were recorded in it that year for a median to mean something, so this is shorter than the full list of towns in the county.

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.

Renting in Cork

What rent is actually being paid in Cork, from tenancies registered with the Residential Tenancies Board. A rent average and a sale median are two different statistics about two different sets of homes.
