ESRI warns of continued housing price surge in Ireland
Author : PNT Reporter
The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) warns the Oireachtas Committee on Budgetary Oversight that Ireland's housing prices are on an upward trajectory due to insufficient investment and rapid population growth, resulting in a demand-supply imbalance. Owner-occupied houses have decreased from 79% in 1991 to 66% presently, while average rents in Dublin have soared to EUR 2,102. Ireland's low housing investment, ranked among the lowest in the EU in 2022, exacerbates the crisis. The ESRI calls for increased housing supply targets in light of population growth trends. The crisis disproportionately affects low and moderate-income individuals, escalating homelessness and rent/mortgage burdens. Business and productivity sectors are impacted, with businesses considering relocation due to housing costs, potentially undermining Ireland's competitiveness in attracting foreign investment....
