## What is actually being built — 2 commencement notices in 3 years

## Recent sales — 1 within 500 m

Median €545,000 (range €545,000 – €545,000).

1 matched to the exact address; 1 with beds, floor area and BER from the matched daft.ie advertisement.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-04-07 | €545,000 | CAMELOT, COAST RD, RUSH | 4 | — | C1 | no |

*PPR addresses are geocoded, not surveyed — a sale's position is as good as its address match (`rooftop_n` says how many are address-accurate). Beds, floor area, BER and asking price come from the matched daft.ie advertisement, not from the Register, and only where a match was found (`enriched_n`).*
