Price-to-Rent Ratio by County (2013–Present)

What is P/R Ratio?

Price-to-rent = property price ÷ annual rent. A ratio of 20 means you pay 20 years of rent to own the property. Lower = better rental yield.

Benchmarks

Below 15: strong yield territory. 15–20: neutral. Above 20: yield-compressed, capital-gain market. Dublin typically runs 20–30×.

Limitations

Uses median PPR price and Daft 2-bed asking rent. Asking rent ≠ registered RTB rent. Transaction costs, maintenance and voids not included.
