Dublin 6 tops house-buyers lists as home sales jump 76%

An in-depth study of the Dublin property market has found that Dublin 6 was the most popular area to buy a property during the first half of this year, with 346 sales recorded between January and June.

That marks a 76% increase on the 197 sales recorded for the postcode during the same period last year.

The Myhome.ie study showed that Dublin 15 (303 sales), Dublin 16 (265 sales) and Dublin 6W (258 sales) were also popular among buyers. Sales in Dublin 13 climbed by 189% to 208, largely due to the fact that sales in Clongriffin jumped dramatically from just five during the first half of 2013 to 73 in the first half of 2014.
