House prices in Dublin

Sale prices have an 80% chance of landing between €514,680 and €698,158 by August 2027.

Figures for Ireland: Dublin has no reliable figures of its own.

At the average sale price, a home costs €597,548. With 10% down and a 30-year mortgage, the payment is €2,400 a month. Ireland sets no cap on the payment; the Central Bank limits most mortgages to four times gross income for first-time buyers and 3.5 times for others.

Renting the average home costs less each month than owning it. Owning counts interest, running costs and the return the deposit could earn, at the average sale price; rent is the average rent of the tenancies registered with the RTB in the year. Repaying the loan is saving, so it is left out.

29.4% fewer homes were granted planning permission in the last 12 months than in an average year of the past decade.

Sale prices have fallen by 3% or more once since 2005. That fall began in February 2007.

5.9% of the 565,321 homes counted in the 2022 census were unoccupied: vacant, or holiday homes.

In 2025, 88% of the planning permissions granted for homes were for extensions, alterations or conversions of existing ones.

Public bodies signed €162.9M of housing works here in 2025, and €1.4B since 2017.
