The median price of a house in Leitrim rose to €185,000 in the 12 months preceding February of this year. Nationally, house prices increased by 8% during the same period, with the average median price of a house in Ireland now sitting at €360,000.

The North-West remains one of the most affordable areas to live in the country, with the median house prices in Roscommon, Sligo, and Donegal being below the national average at €188,500, €245,000, and €190,000, respectively.
The continuing rise in prices is a result of low supply and high demand in the market.
