Limerick sold prices by area: a 3.75 times range across the 42 listed areas

Start with the gap. Among the 42 County Limerick areas in our table, the highest median sold price is Adare at €450,000 and the lowest is Kilfinane at €120,000. Divide one by the other and you get 3.75. The county card shows €235,000, which sits between them and describes few of the places beneath it: only nine of the 42 areas have a median between €205,000 and €255,000.

The numbers come from the Property Price Register, which files sales by county. "Limerick" therefore means the whole county, not Limerick City alone. The window is the five years to 14 August 2026, and the county card counts 6,582 recorded transactions. Medians over five years blend older and newer sales, and these are recorded sales, not asking prices.

The county number against the area numbers

Of the 42 areas in the table, 28 have a median above the card's €235,000 and 14 sit at or below it. That looks odd until you see what the card is made of. It is the median of the area medians, taken over every area, small ones included, and not the middle of all 6,582 sales. The table holds 4,585 of those sales, about seven in ten. The other 1,997 are in areas with fewer than 30 sales in the window or outside the 60 busiest the county page lists, so they feed the card and are not in the table.

The practical point is not to read the card as a typical house price for the place you are looking at. Go straight to the area. And do not expect a count from the official search to match ours: Inmoatlas leaves out rows flagged as not full market price, prices under €20,000 or over €20 million, and filings covering several units, and its medians do not separate new homes from second-hand ones.

The big markets

Castletroy leads by a distance, with 905 sales at €340,000. That is more than one sale in eight of the county card's 6,582. Dooradoyle is second with 385 at €300,000, Newcastle West third with 288 at €210,000, and Mungret fourth with 227 at €361,233. Raheen and Annacotty tie for fifth on 199 sales each, at €342,000 and €330,000. Between them the five busiest hold 2,004 sales, about three in ten.

Smaller areas price higher still: Greenpark at €377,511 on 106 sales, Monaleen at €375,000 on 70, Ennis Rd at €360,000 on 121 and Patrickswell at €348,018 on 90. Mungret has an odd number of sales, so its median is one actual sale, and €361,233 is what €410,000 comes to when divided by 1.135. That is consistent with a new home filed without 13.5% VAT, but it is inference from arithmetic. The official record for the sale would say.

The city label and its neighbours

"Limerick City" is itself an area, with 109 sales at €245,000. Its page lists real streets, such as Catherine Place, Brennans Row and Clare St, so it appears to hold addresses filed with Limerick City as the locality instead of a neighbourhood.

Where the filer gave a more specific locality, the spread is wide. South Circular Rd is at €308,750 on 74 sales and Corbally at €290,500 on 143. Thomondgate is at €210,000 on 50, Janesboro at €209,000 on 36 and Garryowen at €182,500 on 79. Dock Rd is at €137,500 on 68 sales, the lowest in the table among areas with more than 50 sales, and South Circular Rd's median is more than twice that.

Newcastle West and the smaller towns

Newcastle West is filed two ways: Newcastlewest has 100 sales at €215,000 and Newcastle West has 288 at €210,000. Across the two spellings that is 388 sales, with medians €5,000 apart. Abbeyfeale is at €171,000 on 85 sales, Askeaton at €168,500 on 54 and Kilmallock at €167,500 on 80.

Rathkeale is at €158,500 on 37 sales, Cappamore at €152,500 on 38 and Kilfinane at €120,000 on 33. Bruff, at €205,000 on 39 sales, sits between €46,500 and €85,000 above those three. A few other places break the pattern: Adare (€450,000 on 82), Castleconnell (€321,585 on 131) and Croom (€319,559 on 91) all price well above the towns around them.

Between the big markets and the small towns sit a group of mid-sized areas. Caherconlish is at €290,000 on 75 sales, Rhebogue at €255,000 on 84, Murroe at €250,000 on 65 and Caherdavin at €279,000 on 44. Their counts are modest, so a gap of a few thousand euros between two of them is not worth reading into.

All 42 Limerick areas in the table

Two spellings, two rows

The area comes from the address text, and filers do not agree on how to type it. Ennis Rd has 121 sales at €360,000 and Ennis Road another 59 at €351,542, which makes 180 sales along what is probably one road, with the medians €8,458 apart. Dooradoyle has 385 sales and Dooradoyle Rd another 33 at €241,250. South Circular Rd (74 sales) and Circular Rd South (33) are probably the same road. Old Cratloe Rd has 71 sales at €200,000, while Old Cratloe Road fell under the 30-sale line and was dropped.

When you see two rows for one place, read both. If their medians agree, as Newcastle West's do, the place is steady. If they do not, as with Dooradoyle and Dooradoyle Rd, the gap tells you about the sales under each label, not about the place.

Thin rows, and checking a street

Twelve of the 42 areas have fewer than 40 sales, from Kilmallock Road, Clarina and Farranshone at 30 each up to Bruff at 39. A median over so few sales can swing on a handful, such as a new estate whose sales fall in a single year, so use a row of 30 to 40 sales to decide where to look next, not as a price.

To check one street, open the area page, which lists the latest recorded sales and the streets in it, or use the street search on the Limerick county page. The official register at propertypriceregister.ie, run by the Property Services Regulatory Authority, shows for each sale whether the price is VAT exclusive. Its address match is on the text as typed, so search a short part of the address. For how to read price movements, see How to read Irish house price trends.
