What the sales say
The kind of place Clara is
Read out of the sales themselves. None of this is a description of what Clara is like to live in, which we have no way of knowing. It is what changed hands here.
Established housing
Almost nothing sold here since 2016 was new: 1% of sales. What changes hands is what is already there.
Very mixed housing
The dearer end of the middle half went for 2.43 times the cheaper end. A gap that wide usually means quite different kinds of home sitting side by side.
Cheaper than Offaly
The median here was 31% below the county median in 2025.
A steady market
37 sales counted in 2025. Enough changes hands for the figures to hold up.

The other side of it
Renting in Clara
The average rent registered in Clara was €1,027 a month in October to December 2024. 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 Clara 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.
