How we process and present property data

Data Source

All property price data comes from the Property Price Register (PPR), maintained by the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) of Ireland.

Property Price Register

The PPR is a statutory register of residential property sales in Ireland. Since 2010, all residential property sales must be recorded.

Methodology

Data Processing

  • • Raw PPR data is downloaded and processed at build time
  • • Invalid entries (missing prices, addresses) are filtered out
  • • Prices are extracted and converted to numeric values
  • • Counties are normalized for consistent grouping

Statistics Calculation

  • Average: Sum of prices divided by count
  • Median: Middle value when sorted (50th percentile)
  • YoY Change: Comparison with previous year's average

Property Types

  • New: Properties marked as "New Dwelling" in PPR
  • Second-Hand: Properties marked as "Second-Hand"
