Property prices have now risen for six months in-a-row

Property prices have now risen for the last six months in-a-row.

That’s according to the latest Residential Property Price Index from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) which increased by 2.9% in the 12 months to November 2023.

In that period prices in Dublin have risen by 0.9%, with prices outside the capital up by 4.4%.

In the month to November prices rose by 0.8%, the sixth consecutive monthly increase dating back to June last year.

The latest increase means property prices nationwide are now 5.9% above their highest level at the peak of the property boom in April 2007.

Outside Dublin, house prices were up by 4.2% and apartment prices rose by 7.2%. The region outside of Dublin that saw the largest rise in house prices was the Mid-West (Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary) at 7.4%, while at the other end of the scale, the Midlands (Laois, Longford, Offaly, and Westmeath) and the Mid-East (Kildare, Louth, Meath, and Wicklow) both saw a 3.3% rise.

In November 2023, 4,618 dwelling purchases by households at market prices were filed with the Revenue Commissioners, down by 5.8% when compared with the 4,901 purchases in November 2022.

The median price of a dwelling purchased in the 12 months to November 2023 was €325,000.

In the year to November, 50,384 home purchases by households at market prices were filed with Revenue.

Of these, just over a third were purchased by first time buyer owner-occupiers, while former owner-occupiers purchased 53.4%. The balance of 12% were acquired by non-occupiers.
