Trends in prices differ considerably across the country. Prices in Dublin in the third quarter of the year were just 1.4% higher than a year ago, the lowest rate of inflation since prices started to rebound in late 2020.

The number of homes available to buy nationwide on September 1st stood at just under 12,200, according to the report.

This is down over 20% year-on-year, compared to the almost 15,500 available to buy on the same date a year previously, and remains well below the 2019 average of 24,200.

The fall in availability, which started in the middle of the year, can be seen in all major regions of the country.
