New data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) reveals that residential property prices in Ireland rose by 7.5 per cent in the year to April 2025. This marks a slight slowdown compared to the 7.6 per cent increase recorded the previous month, indicating a still-strong but slightly easing pace of growth.
In Dublin, residential property prices climbed by 6.2 per cent over the past year. Within the capital, house prices increased by 6.1 per cent, while apartment prices rose slightly more, at 6.5 per cent.
Among Dublin’s local authority areas, Fingal saw the sharpest increase in house prices at 9.2 per cent, while Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown posted the smallest gain at 4.3 per cent.
Outside the capital, property prices rose at a faster rate. The CSO reported an 8.6 per cent increase in residential property prices outside Dublin.
In this category, house prices were up by 8.8 per cent, and apartment prices increased by 5.7 per cent compared to April 2024.
The Border region—which includes Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan, and Sligo—experienced the highest house price growth in the country, with a significant 11.8 per cent increase. This suggests continued demand and possibly tighter supply in these counties.
Meanwhile, the South-East region, encompassing Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, and Wexford, saw more modest growth. House prices there rose by 7.2 per cent, marking the lowest regional increase outside Dublin. Despite this, price growth remains positive nationwide, reflecting persistent demand in Ireland’s housing market.
