Gay neighbours ‘are good for your house price’

Gay neighbours are good for property values, the first research of its kind in Ireland suggests.

Rents and house prices are surging faster in Ireland’s top 10 ‘pride-filled places’ than anywhere else in the country, Daft.ie said.

The data, which was released by the property website last night ahead of this weekend’s Dublin’s Pride Parade, is based on a comparison of property and rent prices with specific CSO data for Dublin.
