Ireland’s residential property market saw a noticeable slowdown in price growth at the start of 2026, with month‑on‑month gains moderating to 0.30% in January. This marks a deceleration from December 2025, when prices rose by 0.70% compared with November, according to data updated on 18 March 2026.
The latest figures indicate that, while prices are still edging higher on a monthly basis, the pace of increase has eased compared with the end of last year. On a month‑over‑month basis, January’s “actual” change reflects the price movement from December 2025 to January 2026, whereas the “previous” figure captures the change from November to December 2025. The cooling momentum may signal a tentative shift in market dynamics after a stronger finish to 2025.
