Housing prices nationally rose by an average of 9% during 2024, according to the latest Daft.ie House Price Report.
The typical listed price nationwide in the final quarter of 2024 was €332,109.
"If the goal of policymakers is to ensure stable housing prices, then, this has been the least successful year for policymakers since 2017, when prices rose by roughly the same proportion," said Ronan Lyons, economist at Trinity College Dublin.
"2024 saw the largest increase in listed prices since 2017. The new government may look to intervene in the mortgage market, to improve mobility of those with fixed interest rates.
"But ultimately, the solution remains boosting the volume of homes being built."
The average list price and year-on-year change in Limerick in Q4 2024 was €284,138, up 8.2%.
