How this report is built
Sale prices come from the PSRA Property Price Register. Non-market sales are excluded, prices outside €50k–€3m are dropped, and new-build prices (recorded excluding VAT) are grossed up by 13.5%. Figures are medians, not a quality-adjusted index — a shift in the mix of homes sold moves them too.
Rents and asking prices come from the Daft.ie Rental and Sales Reports; completions from CSO table NDQ05. See the methodology for details.
