Irish home prices rose 5.5% in 2025, driven by high demand and a severe housing shortage.

According to Daft, the average three-bedroom semi-detached home in Ireland cost €423,000 in 2025, a 5.5% increase.For example, prices are still 10% below the Celtic Tiger peak and 41% above pre-pandemic levels. Only 11,551 used homes were listed nationwide by December 1 due to strong demand exceeding supply, which is significantly less than the average from 2015 to 2019. Connacht-Ulster saw an increase of 11.6%, while Dublin saw an increase of 3.1%. Experts caution that there is still a housing shortage and demand that building rates be doubled.
