What the sales say

The kind of place Rathfarnham is

Read out of the sales themselves. None of this is a description of what Rathfarnham is like to live in, which we have no way of knowing. It is what changed hands here.

  • Dearer than Dublin

    The median here was 29% above the county median in 2025.

  • A busy market

    150 sales counted in 2025. Enough changes hands for the figures to hold up.

What your money buys

What sold, and at what price

Every counted sale in Rathfarnham 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.

Where the sales are

Busiest streets and estates in Rathfarnham

All 77 of them, counted over the whole register, so these span years rather than describing this one. A street needs five sales before it appears at all.

New against second hand

New builds in Rathfarnham

In 2025 the median new build in Rathfarnham sold for €1,160,000, against €622,000 for a second hand home, which puts new builds 86% above the rest of the market here. That is over 17 new build sales and 149 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 Rathfarnham

The average rent registered in Rathfarnham was €2,298 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.

Recorded crime

Incidents at Rathfarnham 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.
