Ireland’s residential property market maintained its pace of growth at the start of 2026, with prices rising 7.00% year-over-year in January, unchanged from the 7.00% annual increase recorded in December 2025.
According to data updated on 18 March 2026, the year-over-year measure compares the price change in January 2026 to January 2025, while the previous reading reflected the change in December 2025 versus December 2024. The flat reading suggests that, on an annual basis, upward pressure on residential property prices has neither intensified nor eased moving into the new year.
The stability in the headline growth rate indicates that, despite evolving macroeconomic conditions, Ireland’s housing market is still experiencing solid, sustained price inflation rather than a marked acceleration or slowdown in residential property values.
