House prices nationwide have continued to rise, seeing an increase of 7.8% compared with June 2024 according to figures released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) today. Property prices rose fastest outside Dublin – up 8.8% in June 2025 compared to June 2024 – with a rise of 6.6% recorded in Dublin, according to the Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) for June 2025.
The figures follow the publication of a recent report from Daft.ie, which found that Irish house price inflation is at a ten-year-high.
The median price of a dwelling purchased in the 12 months to June 2025 was €370,000, according to the CSO. The highest median price for a dwelling in the 12 months to June 2025 was €675,000 in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, while Leitrim continued to offer the lowest median price (€190,000).
Revenue data shows there were 1,531 first-time buyer purchases in June 2025. In June 2025, 4,029 dwelling purchases by households were filed with the Revenue Commissioners at a total value of €1.7 billion. These purchases were made up of 3,092 existing dwellings and 937 new dwellings.
Commenting on the release, Niall Corkery, Statistician in the Prices Division, said: “Residential property prices rose by 7.8% in the 12 months to June 2025, unchanged from the 7.8% in the year to May 2025. In Dublin, residential property prices saw an increase of 6.6%, while property prices outside Dublin were 8.8% higher in June 2025 when compared with a year earlier.”
The Residential Property Price Index also shows that apartment prices in Dublin increased at the same pace as house prices in the capital, both rising by 6.6%.
The highest house price growth in Dublin was in Fingal at 8.0% while both Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and South Dublin saw a rise of 5.5%.
Outside Dublin, house prices were up by 9.0% and apartment prices rose by 6.6%. The West (Galway, Mayo and Roscommon) was the region outside of Dublin that saw the largest growth in house prices at 10.3%, while at the other end of the scale, the South-East (Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, and Wexford) saw a 7.1% rise.
Households paid a median or mid-point price of €370,000 for a residential property in the 12 months to June 2025. The most expensive Eircode area over the 12 months to June 2025 was A94 (Blackrock, Dublin) with a median price of €780,000, while F45 (Castlerea, Roscommon) had the least expensive price of €148,000.
Pointing to historical trends, the CSO noted that the national index has now reached the value of 195.8, which is 19.7% above its highest level at the peak of the property boom in April 2007. Dublin residential property prices are 5.9% higher than their February 2007 peak, while residential property prices in the Rest of Ireland are 21.8% higher than their May 2007 peak, it noted.
Property prices nationally have increased by 166.9% from their trough in early 2013. Dublin residential property prices have risen by 162.2% from their February 2012 low, while residential property prices in the Rest of Ireland are 180.2% higher than at the trough, which was in May 2013.
