The CSO's residential property price index goes back to 2005 for Ireland and Dublin, and to 2010 for the other regions and Dublin's four councils, where it covers houses only; it is adjusted for the mix of homes bought. Other councils use the average price of homes bought, by quarter since 2010, which is not. A fall counts once prices drop 3% below a peak, and ends when they are back at it.
