25% Increase In Dublin House Prices

House prices in Dublin have increased by 25% over the past year, a new survey has found.

According to property website daft.ie, nationally, house prices were said to have risen by 14%.

In Ireland, the average house price is said to be €195,000, just over half of the average price of a house during the peak of the market boom. Last year, the average cost of a home was €170,000, the study added.

Elsewhere, prices in all major urban areas were found to have risen, except for Limerick city, where a fall of 4% was recorded.

Interestingly, just over 30,000 properties are on the market, the lowest amount since March 2007.

Ronan Lyons, an economist with daft.ie, said a shortage of supply in the Leinster region, and Dublin in particular, had pushed up values.

He added: "The concern is that this supply shortage is now feeding into expectations. While price rises driven by shortages can be stopped by increasing supply, tackling price rises driven by expectations is significantly trickier."
