Property Price Register Dublin and What Separates the Dearest Areas From the Cheapest

Dublin holds the heaviest county file on the Property Price Register. More than 200 Dublin towns and areas carry their own filed sale records. Behind the 2025 county median of 482,000 euro sit 14,814 counted sales, and the partial year 2026 already holds 6,883 more. That volume makes the county figure look settled.

The Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) publishes the register, and a sale enters it once the stamp duty paperwork is lodged. Hous sorts those filings by county and by area, then calculates a median for each one. Dublin then returns two very different readings. The county line reads 482,000 euro, while area lines run from 265,000 euro in Ballymun to 1,255,000 euro in Mount Merrion.

How Large Is the Dublin Section of the Register?

Dublin is the deepest county on the register, with over 200 towns and areas listed and 14,814 counted sales in 2025 alone. Depth matters because the more filed sales an area holds, the steadier its median reads. In a county this size you can work at area level rather than stopping at the county line.

The three most recent Dublin readings sit close together and all point upward.

• 2025 median of 482,000 euro across 14,814 counted sales
• 2024 median of 450,000 euro across 14,651 counted sales
• 2026 partial year median of 490,000 euro over 6,883 sales
• One year growth of 7.1 per cent and five year growth of 37.7 per cent to 2025

Why Does One County Hold So Many Price Levels?

Because Dublin is not one market. It is over 200 of them filed under a single county name. A median is worked out separately for each area, and then again for the county as a whole. The county calculation pools Dalkey filings with Ballymun filings, so the 482,000 euro line describes a mixture rather than a place.

That is why the Property Price Register Dublin page on Hous lists the areas beneath the county line rather than above it. You can open Foxrock, Balbriggan or Mount Merrion and see where each one landed in 2025. The distance between the dearest and the cheapest of those areas runs to just under one million euro.

Which Dublin Areas Sit at the Top and Which Sit at the Bottom?

Mount Merrion sits at the top of the 2025 Dublin list at 1,255,000 euro. Foxrock follows at 1,200,000 euro and Dalkey at 1,100,000 euro. Ballymun sits at the bottom at 265,000 euro and Balbriggan at 315,000 euro. Each of those figures is a median of filed sales in that area, not an asking price.

Read the county median on its own and Mount Merrion looks like an outlier. Read the area list instead and it is simply the top of a long ladder. Both readings come from the same set of filed records.

How Much Have Dublin Medians Moved Over One Year and Five Years?

Dublin rose 7.1 per cent between the 2024 median of 450,000 euro and the 2025 median of 482,000 euro. Over five years to 2025 the county median grew 37.7 per cent. The sale count barely changed across that last year, moving from 14,651 to 14,814, so volume held steady while the median moved.

The partial year 2026 currently reads 490,000 euro over 6,883 sales. A partial year is still filling, so that number will shift as further sales are filed. Treat it as a running position rather than a finished one, and check the year label before you quote any Dublin median.

What the Dublin Figures Cannot Tell You

The register records what was filed, and nothing beyond that. On Hous, nothing is derived from data the register does not actually hold. That rules out any floor area measure, room count or condition rating on a Dublin page. What remains is the price, the date and the area each sale was filed under.

1. Start with the Dublin county median as your first reading
2. Open the area page closest to the address you care about
3. Compare that area median against the 482,000 euro county line
4. Check how many filed sales stand behind the area figure

That limit is why the Dublin pages stay with medians, sale counts and growth. A 7.1 per cent move on 2024, or a Foxrock median of 1,200,000 euro, rests directly on the filed records. Anything beyond those measures would be a guess wearing a number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median house price in Dublin in 2025?

The Property Price Register shows a Dublin median sale price of 482,000 euro for 2025, calculated across 14,814 counted sales. That figure is 7.1 per cent above the 2024 median of 450,000 euro. The partial year 2026 currently reads 490,000 euro over 6,883 filed sales, and it will move as more sales are filed.

Which Dublin area has the highest median sale price?

Among the Dublin areas listed for 2025, Mount Merrion holds the highest median at 1,255,000 euro. Foxrock follows at 1,200,000 euro and Dalkey at 1,100,000 euro. At the other end, Ballymun sits at 265,000 euro and Balbriggan at 315,000 euro. Each figure is a median of filed sales, not an asking price.

Why does the Dublin county median differ so much from area figures?

The county median pools filed sales from more than 200 Dublin towns and areas into one calculation. Dalkey filings and Ballymun filings land in the same pool, so 482,000 euro describes the mixture rather than any single place. Area medians are worked out separately, which is why they spread so widely across the county.

How many Dublin towns and areas does the register cover?

The Dublin file lists over 200 towns and areas, each with its own filed sale records. Behind the 2025 county line stand 14,814 counted sales, against 14,651 in 2024. The count barely shifted, while the median climbed 37.7 per cent over the five years to 2025. Depth like that lets you read Dublin at area level rather than county level.
