What the sales say
The kind of place Portlaw is
Read out of the sales themselves. None of this is a description of what Portlaw 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: 0% of sales. What changes hands is what is already there.
In line with Waterford
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
20 sales counted in 2025. At that rate, waiting for the right house here means waiting.

Incidents at Portlaw 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.
