House Prices in Ireland Surge 3.7% in Early 2025 Amid Supply Shortage
House prices in Ireland rose by an average of 3.7% in the first three months of 2025, marking the highest inflation rate in eight years, according to Daft.ie. The average listed price now exceeds €346,000—up 11.6% from last year and 35% higher than pre-pandemic levels.
The sharpest increases were seen in Dublin (12.2%), Leinster (13.4%), Galway (13.2%), and Limerick (13.8%). A significant drop in second-hand homes for sale has fueled the surge, with supply at its lowest since Daft.ie began tracking data in 2007.
Economist Ronan Lyons said the housing shortage, rather than excessive credit, remains the key issue. Meanwhile, Central Bank Governor Gabriel Makhlouf has urged the Government to review its various housing policies before introducing new measures.
In Kildare the average house price is €367,511 a quarter on quarter change of 3.9% and a year on year increase of 12.9%. The figures represent a 40% increase on prices from Pre-Covid.
In Kildare average prices per category are listed below with the % increase on the last quarter:
1 bed apartment €160,000 - 25.3% increase
2 bed terraced house €208,000 - 12.7%
3 bed semi d €273,000 - 10.8%
4 bed bungalow €540,000 - 11.8%
5 bed detached €573,000 - 16.8%
