The survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.

“The market is in a period of stabilisation after numerous quarters of growth,” said Robert McCormack of REA McCormack Corish in Wexford Town.

“Supply has increased, and demand is stable. We are seeing that Brexit is having a negative effect on sentiment.”

The price of the average three-bed semi-detached house in Wexford town fell this quarter by 2.7% to €180,000, and the average time on the market remained unchanged at six weeks.
“Prices remain stable in North Wexford. There is currently a limited supply of starter homes on the market, and many buyers are currently holding off buying due to Brexit. Well-presented properties are selling quickly,” said Winston Halnon of REA Halnon, Gorey.
The price for the average three-bed semi-detached house in Gorey remained unchanged this quarter at €225,000, and time on the market rose from six weeks to eight.

After a year of rises to June, agents are citing an uncertainty surrounding Brexit hampering viewing numbers.

Q3 House Prices County Carlow


The price of the average three-bed semi in County Carlow rose by 2.1% to €171,000 in the past year according to a national survey carried out by Real Estate Alliance.
Carlow prices were static over the past three months, the REA Average House Price Survey found.
The REA Average House Price Survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.
“High rents are driving first-time buyers into purchasing mode, but financing remains a problem. This quarter it is a little more difficult to sell higher end properties, with Brexit causing uncertainty amongst buyers,” said Harry Sothern of REA Sothern in Carlow Town.
The price of an average three-bed semi-detached home in Carlow Town remained static this quarter at €177,000, with time on the market also unchanged at eight weeks.
“The market is noticeably quieter this quarter and demand for more expensive homes is very weak.” said John Dawson of REA Dawson in Tullow.
