Are house prices rising or falling? When is the right time to buy? What if I can’t afford to purchase a property? These are all dilemmas that most house hunters have likely faced as they look to secure a home for themselves.
While there are various answers to the questions above – and the many others pondered – it’s fair to say it can be daunting when you see houses advertised in your area outside of your price range.
While the direction of the property market can be debated, what we do know is that the median price of a house in Ireland right now stands at €399,999.
That’s according to the Central Statistics Office’s Residential Property Price Index report for July 2026, which was released just last week.
With that in mind, we decided to look at five of the best properties on the market right now for €399,999 or less…
