A three-bedroom semi-detached house listed as €422,000 on average

The rate at which house prices are rising has slowed to 3 per cent across the country.

There's a rise of just under 6 per cent in Cork, Galway and Limerick cities year-on-year.

In Kildare, listed prices in the third quarter of 2026 were on average 2.4% higher than a year ago.

The typical price of a three-bedroom semi-detached house listed in the county was €422,000.

Nationally, the average list price across all property types in the third quarter of the year was just under €445,000.

List prices are now, on average, 44% above their pre-Covid levels and 7.5% below their Celtic Tiger peak.

Transaction prices rose 0.8% annually - the slowest rate of increase since 2020.

The typical gap between the initial listed price and the ultimate transaction price – a measure of market heat – narrowed to 2.6% nationally, down from 6.8% a year earlier and the smallest gap since 2023.

Dublin and Leinster are cooling fastest as Dublin list prices are up just 2.7% year-on-year, Leinster (ex-Dublin) up 2.1%.
