COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (JANUARY 6 EDITION)
Ballyhaunis, along with Lifford in Co Donegal, are jointly the second least expensive Eircodes in the country in which to buy a house, according to Central Statistics Office (CSO) data released just before Christmas. The median price of a house in both towns in the 12 months to October 2025 was €170,000.
The cheapest Eircode in the country in the period was Castlerea, with a median house price of €150,000. Underlining the relative affordability of Ballyhaunis properties nationally, the median house price in the period was €381,000, while in Mayo the figure was €226,000.
The most recent data also shows the rate of growth in local property prices in recent years. Only four years ago, in 2022, the median price per property in Ballyhaunis was €125,000.
