Ireland’s residential property market recorded annual house price inflation of 6.2% in May, unchanged from the previous month and marking the slowest annual growth rate in almost two and a half years, according to Central Statistics Office data released earlier this week. The figures indicate that the pace of price increases has moderated from the 10.1% peak seen in August 2024, although housing values remain substantially higher than a decade ago. Prices are now nearly three times the level recorded at the 2013 trough following Ireland’s major property market crash.
Irish annual house price inflation remained unchanged at 6.2% in May compared with the previous month, according to data released by the Central Statistics Office earlier this week.
The latest reading represents the lowest annual growth rate in almost two and a half years, showing that the pace of house price increases has continued to moderate after a stronger period of inflation in the Irish residential market.
Data from the statistics office showed that annual house price inflation had gradually eased from the recent peak of 10.1% recorded in August 2024. The moderation suggests that price growth has slowed, although the market continues to remain well above pre-pandemic and long-term historical levels.
Ireland’s housing market has experienced a significant recovery over the past decade. House prices have risen almost threefold since the trough reached in 2013, when the country was emerging from a major property crash that followed the global financial crisis and domestic housing market downturn.
The latest figures indicate that while annual price growth has softened, residential property values remain elevated. The slowdown may reflect a combination of factors, including higher borrowing costs, affordability pressures, and the gradual adjustment of demand after several years of strong price increases.
Housing supply constraints and continued demand for residential property have remained key themes in the Irish market, helping to support prices even as the rate of annual growth has moderated.
