The MyHome.ie report states that the rate of increase in value of this segment of the Irish property market rose at the same rate during the April to June period as an identical period last year.
An average 3 bedroom semi-detached house outside the Dublin City and Greater Dublin suburban area would cost you € 202, 000, as opposed to € 282, 000 within the Dublin region.
The MyHome.ie review for Q2 2015 noted that, although they witnessed the smallest increase in Dublin based asking prices since 2013, there may be an overall improvement in the supply of new houses, (based on an increase in house for sale listings of almost 9.5 % between Q1 and Q2 2015).
A predication of an overall price increase of 10 % for 2015 was made in the report although this is,of course, dependent on the state of the economy by December 2015, the impact of the Central Bank mortgage restrictions and the supply of quality housing stock available throughout the 2015
