What the sales say
The kind of place Macroom is
Read out of the sales themselves. None of this is a description of what Macroom is like to live in, which we have no way of knowing. It is what changed hands here.
Still being added to
21% of sales since 2016 were new builds, so building has carried on here rather than stopped.
In line with Cork
The median here sat within a quarter of the county median in 2025, so it tracks the county rather than standing apart from it.
A steady market
58 sales counted in 2025. Enough changes hands for the figures to hold up.

What sold, and at what price
Every counted sale in Macroom since 2023, sorted into bands. Recent years only, deliberately: over the whole register nearly half of everywhere looks cheap, because of what houses cost in 2012. The question this answers is whether anything at all sells for what you have now.

New against second hand
New builds in Macroom
In 2025 the median new build in Macroom sold for €364,999, against €290,000 for a second hand home, which puts new builds 26% above the rest of the market here. That is over 46 new build sales and 58 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.
The other side of it
Renting in Macroom
The average rent registered in Macroom was €1,223 a month in October to December 2025. By bedrooms, by property type and quarter by quarter.
That is an average over tenancies registered with the Residential Tenancies Board, and the figure above it is a median over sales. Two different statistics about two different sets of homes, so nothing here divides one by the other.

Incidents at Macroom Garda station
Incidents recorded by this station across the district it covers, which is wider than the town it is named after. These are counts and not rates: there is no population figure here to divide by, so they cannot be used to compare one place with another. What they can show is the direction of travel in this one place.

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.
