With about 34,000 completions last year — far short of the Government’s original 41,000 target — Irish home buyers are paying well above asking prices. Picture: iStock

Homes up for sale are being “snapped up quickly” as the housing market remains very tight even with inflation slowing, a new report has suggested.

The MyHome report for the final quarter of 2025 shows national asking price inflation at 5.4% in the last three months of the year, with prices largely unchanged compared to the late summer and early autumn.
