5-bed detached houses was the only category that experienced a decrease, albeit a modest one at 2.1%.

Commenting on the report, its author Ronan Lyons, Professor in Economics at Trinity College Dublin, said: "The predominant theme has been a shortage of supply.

"There are some indications in this latest report that new homes are sustaining activity levels in the market, even though construction is still low compared to underlying need.

“More construction – and a healthier second-hand segment – are the key ingredients needed if the story of the Irish housing market over the years to come is to be a happier one.”
