Whose market is it?
Months of supply
Homes for sale ÷ monthly sold rate (3-month PPR average, skipping the newest still-filing month). Under 4 months favours sellers; over 6 favours buyers.
8.2 months
1,743 recorded available homes · 212 sales per month. Historical stock is not yet available.
Sold vs asking
Median sold ÷ asking per month, and the share that closed over asking. Faded bars: n under 50.
Y-axis truncated — it doesn't start at zero, so read changes in proportion, not the gap from the baseline.
Observed sales: 2024-11 to 2026-09.
Time to sale agreed
Days between an observed available listing and its observed change to sale agreed. These are observation dates, not the exact dates an agreement was signed.
Median 3 days · n=57 source listings. Disappearances and withdrawals are excluded.
Price cuts on current stock
Actives whose price today is below an earlier asking price we observed.
How to read this section
Each measure describes a different part of the market.
Supply uses the available listings we have recorded and a trailing PPR sales rate. Coverage gaps and stale source listings can change that ratio.
Sold prices describe completed transactions and arrive later. Compare the source dates and sample sizes before drawing a conclusion.
Where are prices going?
Galway vs the official index
Quarterly PPR median for Galway, indexed to 2015 = 100, against the CSO index for West-region houses and national all-dwellings. The Galway line is a raw median (mix shifts move it); the CSO lines are mix-adjusted.
Y-axis truncated — it doesn't start at zero, so read changes in proportion, not the gap from the baseline.
€ per m² by property type
Median sold € per m², quarterly, from sold listings with a floor area. Hollow dots: thin quarters.
Y-axis truncated — it doesn't start at zero, so read changes in proportion, not the gap from the baseline.
Sold volume & median price
Monthly PPR sales: median price over the number of sales filed.
Hollow dots = thin months (n<4); their medians swing on a handful of sales.
Newest month faded — filings still arriving.
Y-axis truncated — it doesn't start at zero, so read changes in proportion, not the gap from the baseline.
PPR coverage: 2024-11 to 2026-09.
