What this means if you are selling or letting in Rush
Prices in Rush are stable rather than rising quickly, so pricing correctly from day one matters more than it did in 2024 and 2025. Homes that come to market at the right price still sell well, while overpriced homes tend to sit. New homes at Bellingham Green and Golden Ridge give buyers more choice, so second hand homes need good presentation and marketing to stand out.
For landlords, steady values and strong demand for rental homes in North County Dublin mean Rush remains a solid place to own a rental property.

About this report
Figures come from the Residential Property Price Register, downloaded on 28 October 2026, covering sales recorded up to 22 October 2026. Sales marked as not full market price and sales under €50,000 are excluded. Homes are matched to each town by the town name in the address. Medians are used rather than averages so a few very high or low sales do not distort the picture. New homes are recorded excluding VAT, so they are reported separately. Recent sales can take several weeks to appear on the register, so late 2026 figures may change. You are welcome to quote this report with a link to this page.
