Housing sales rise as prices fall back

The analysis of property prices by the Irish Examiner is based on the Residential Property Price Register compiled by the Property Services Regulatory Authority.

It contains details on the sale of all residential properties in the Republic in the first six months of 2013, as registered on Jul 11.

The register provides information on the date of sale, price, and address of all properties purchased over the period as declared to the Revenue Commissioners for stamp duty purposes.
