Planning permission is permission to build, not a finished home: most homes are completed one to three years later, and some never are. The CSO counts the houses and apartments in the permissions granted each quarter: Ireland's since 1975, its regions' and councils' since 2018.

At the average sale price, a home costs €332,435. With 10% down and a 30-year mortgage, the payment is €1,335 a month. Ireland sets no cap on the payment; the Central Bank limits most mortgages to four times gross income for first-time buyers and 3.5 times for others.

Renting the average home costs less each month than owning it. Owning counts interest, running costs and the return the deposit could earn, at the average sale price; rent is the average rent of the tenancies registered with the RTB in the year. Repaying the loan is saving, so it is left out.
