In Connacht-Ulster, excluding Galway, sales prices in the third quarter were 1.8 percent higher than three months earlier and 8.7 percent higher than a year ago. Prices in the province are now 59 percent above pre-Covid levels, though they remain seven percent below their Celtic Tiger peak.

On September 1, there were 2,388 second-hand homes actively for sale in Connacht-Ulster, an increase of three percent compared to the same date last year. Despite this small rise, availability is still less than two-fifths of the 2015–2019 average, when over 6,200 homes were typically on the market. 

Over the year to August, a total of 7,600 second-hand homes were put up for sale in the region, up three percent year-on-year but still 15 percent below the 2015–2019 average. Transaction prices in Connacht-Ulster are now 148 percent higher than they were a decade ago.

Nationally, housing prices rose by an average of 0.8 percent during the third quarter of 2025. On average, listed prices across the country are now 5.9 percent higher than a year ago, 39 percent above pre-Covid levels, and just 10 percent below their Celtic Tiger peak. 

While prices were nearly six percent higher nationwide compared to a year earlier, regional differences remain significant, with Dublin once again recording the lowest rate of inflation at 4.5 percent year-on-year.

The report also noted that housing inflation has eased compared to earlier in the year but still remains well above inflation in the wider economy. 

Daft.ie attributed this trend to a continued lack of supply. As of September 1, there were 11,925 second-hand homes for sale nationwide, up only one percent on the previous year. However, availability remains less than half of the 2015–2019 average.
