Property sale information for Sligo is provided by the Residential Property Price Register (RPPR). The source data goes back as far as 2010 and it can sometimes be tricky and time-consuming to work with. Our job is to speed up this process for you and present the results here in a simple way.

The first task that we carry out is to download the RPPR data for Sligo, going all the way back to 2010. We process this data every week and we update this page with new results as they are released by RPPR. So that means we are saving you a lot of time! Just bookmark this page and you can return to view new property sale statistics for Sligo every week! We analyse these results and present them here as two distinct sets of visualizations: maps and graphs.

Mapping Sligo Residential Property Sales

Smiley face The RPPR provides nice address information going back as far as 2010. In more recent years, the data also provides Eircodes. This all means that it is possible for Sligo Alerts to convert these lines of addresses into map points. We have published them on this page as well as on the Sligo Alerts Live Map. We use green map icons to specify the location of a property sale. All you need to do is tap/click over a green map icon to learn about a property sale. You'll need to login to your Sligo Alerts account to view individual sale prices.

Over 9000 Sligo residential properties have been marked as SOLD! since 2010. To place these on a map would lead to a map of Sligo with nothing but green icons! Therefore, we have limited the property sales on the map, below, to all property sales since 2019. You can also tap over your locality name to quickly move the map to your preferred area:


Understanding recent trends

Using all data since 2010, we can present this data in a condensed way so you can visualize the residential property price market for Co. Sligo. You'll notice from the first graph below that the number of residential property sales in Co. Sligo has dramatically increased in recent years. Only 234 properties were sold in the county in 2011, while this more than trebled to 934 residential property sales in 2022. This is visual evidence of the effect that the financial crash of 2008 had on the Sligo property market in 2008 and it took until 2014 for the volume of sales to increase as a result of this recession.

There's an obvious blip in the number of property sales in 2020 and it is likely that this was caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which slowed down conveyancing, property viewings and other aspects of the economy. The Sligo property market rebounded in 2021 and 2022.
