What the sales say

The kind of place Castletownbere is

Read out of the sales themselves. None of this is a description of what Castletownbere is like to live in, which we have no way of knowing. It is what changed hands here.

  • Established housing

    Almost nothing sold here since 2016 was new: 0% of sales. What changes hands is what is already there.

  • Cheaper than Cork

    The median here was 31% below the county median in 2025.

  • Rarely comes up

    13 sales counted in 2025. At that rate, waiting for the right house here means waiting.

Incidents at Castletownbere Garda station

Incidents recorded by this station across the district it covers, which is wider than the town it is named after. These are counts and not rates: there is no population figure here to divide by, so they cannot be used to compare one place with another. What they can show is the direction of travel in this one place.

How the place was worked out

The register has no town column. It has an address, and the place is read out of it: the county is stripped off and the part left at the end is the locality. Addresses that end in a street name rather than a place are not counted towards anywhere.

A place appears here only where at least forty sales were recorded in it, and a figure is printed for a year only where at least ten sales sat behind it.
