Galway sold prices by area (Property Price Register)

The Property Price Register files every residential sale under a county, not a town. "Galway" here therefore means County Galway: the city and its suburbs, the villages around the bay, Connemara and the market towns of the east. On Inmoatlas that is 7,956 recorded transactions in the five years from 14 August 2021 to 14 August 2026. The county card shows €330,000, but it is the median of the area medians, so a village with a dozen sales weighs as much in it as Oranmore with 607.

Every figure in the table is a median over that five-year window, taken from the register snapshot the window ends on. Five years mixes sales from 2021 with sales from 2026, so the figures describe the period and not this month's market. They are recorded sales, not asking prices. They will also not match a count from the official search, because Inmoatlas leaves out rows flagged as not full market price, prices under €20,000 or over €20 million, and filings that cover several units at once. Its medians do not split new homes from second-hand ones either.

Oranmore, the county's busiest market

Oranmore has 607 sales at a median of €398,238. That is more than sixteen times the 37 sales behind Taylors Hill, and it is the largest count of any Galway area in the table. With an odd number of sales the median is one actual sale, and €398,238 is what €452,000 comes to when divided by 1.135. That is consistent with the middle sale being a new home filed without its 13.5% VAT. It is inference from arithmetic. The record for that sale on the official register would show a VAT Exclusive line, and the Inmoatlas figure does not.

Next in volume come Tuam (528 sales), Ballinasloe (354), Knocknacarra (349, at €375,000) and Athenry (349, at €316,300). Rahoon has 274 sales at €393,488 and Roscam 193 at €375,000, the same median as Knocknacarra.

The middle of the table is crowded. Kinvara is at €396,476 on 107 sales, Renmore at €346,000 on 171, Moycullen at €341,410 on 142, Claregalway at €327,753 on 154 and Ballybrit at €320,000 on 172. Headford Rd, at €300,000 on 219 sales, and Doughiska, at €281,250 on 224, sit lower but still on solid counts. These are the rows where the sale count is large enough for a median to mean something, and where a few euros of difference between neighbouring areas is not worth reading into.

The top of the table

Of the 42 areas in the table, Taylors Hill has the highest median at €506,667, then Salthill at €500,000, Barna at €427,500, Ballyburke at €422,907 and Ballymoneen Road at €420,182. The first two are close, but their evidence is not. Salthill rests on 264 sales and Taylors Hill on 37, so a small change in who sold in one year could move the Taylors Hill figure and would hardly touch Salthill's. Ballyburke has 60 sales and Ballymoneen Road 66.

The lowest medians and the market towns

At the other end of the table, Mervue is at €239,000 on 74 sales, Tuam at €225,000 on 528, Ballinasloe at €206,750 on 354, Dunmore at €190,000 on 33 and Portumna at €165,903 on 85. Gort (€240,000, 208 sales), Clifden (€239,500, 122) and Ballybane (€250,000, 128) are not far above them, and Loughrea is at €258,000 on 329.

Among the areas in the table, the highest and lowest medians differ by a factor of 3.05: Taylors Hill against Portumna. Tuam and Ballinasloe carry the most weight at this end. With 528 and 354 sales behind them, their low medians are unlikely to be a quirk of a small sample.

All 42 Galway areas in the table

One place under two labels

The area comes from the address text, which the filer typed, so a single place can turn up twice. Barna is also written Bearna, its Irish name. The table has 126 sales at €427,500 under one spelling and 60 at €395,109 under the other. That is 186 sales in one place, and the two medians sit €32,391 apart. Neither is wrong. Each describes only the sales filed under its own label.

Roads behave the same way. Clybaun Rd has 50 sales at €402,500 and Clybaun Road has 61 at €378,964. Ballymoneen Road has 66 sales and Ballymoneen Rd another 37. Cappagh Road is in the table with 33 sales, while Cappagh Rd fell under the 30-sale line and was dropped.

Roads also overlap with the neighbourhood around them. When we searched the official register for Knocknacarra, many of the addresses returned were on Clybaun Road and Ballymoneen Rd. Which label a sale counts under depends on how its address was typed, so do not add a road figure to a neighbourhood figure. Why register figures look odd covers the other common traps.

How many sales sit behind each number

Seven areas in the table have fewer than 40 sales: Taylors Hill, Shantalla, Woodquay, Ballymoneen Rd, Tuam Rd, Cappagh Road and Dunmore. Fourteen of the 42 have 60 or fewer. A median over 30 to 60 sales moves a lot with a few sales. With 37 sales it is the 19th when they are ranked by price, and with an even count it is the average of the two in the middle. A short run of new houses in one estate, or a few large detached homes, is enough to shift where the middle falls.

Checking a road yourself

Start from the county page for the sale counts and the street search box, then open the area page for the latest recorded sales and the list of streets. To confirm a sale against the source, use the official register at propertypriceregister.ie. In our tests on 14 October 2026 it matched on any fragment of the address text, and leaving Year blank searched every year from 2010. A short fragment such as an estate name works better than a full address, and each record shows whether the price is VAT exclusive.
