The most viewed properties on MyHome in 2025
It’s that time of the year where we reflect on the 12 months just gone.
2025 was another big one for MyHome with many new innovations throughout the year, including new look brochure pages, a new Android and iOS app and an industry-first in Ireland AI search tool which will only get better in 2026.
Before we close the book on 2025, however, it’s that time of the year where we look back on our 10 most viewed properties of the year.
This year we decided to break things down by three categories: most viewed on the website, most viewed on Facebook and most viewed on Instagram.
Check out the 10 most viewed on the MyHome website and app below (links available if still live on site)…
