Elsewhere, less than 4% of homes were vacant in the second quarter of this year.

The Geodirectory Report also showed there were 1,549 property transactions over 12 months in Limerick and the surrounds of the city, which use the V94 Eircode.

This is the highest rate in the country.

But the city area saw the lowest number of home purchases over 12 months in Ireland, at 555.

The report stated that 7.3% of Limerick’s housing stock was apartments, below the national average of almost 11%.

Despite this, Limerick has the third highest rate of apartments relative to its housing stock.

In the last 12 months, Limerick accounted for just 2.8% of the total construction work taking place across the State.

The year up to last June saw the commencement of 996 new homes in Limerick, according to the report. Some 5.3% of homes across Limerick were considered derelict.

Commenting on the findings of the latest GeoDirectory Residential Buildings Report, Dara Keogh, the current chief executive of GeoDirectory said: “While we’ve seen a significant increase in new residential address points, which is a testament to ongoing construction and development, the market continues to navigate complex issues. We continue to see low levels of vacancy in the residential property sector at 3.7% and average house prices continue to rise, now at €418,261. This reflects persistent demand, even as we observe a slight decrease in overall property transactions.”
