Average house outside Dublin costs €250k as prices fall ‘gently’

The average house price in Ireland was lower at the end of 2019 than 12 months previously for the first time in six years, according to new research.

The final Daft.ie house price report of the decade shows that prices are now definitively falling across Ireland as a whole, albeit at a far slower pace compared to the freefall seen at the height of the recession in 2009. According to the report, prices at the end of December were 1.2% lower overall than those seen at the end of 2018.
