Median house prices in Louth up 6% to €265,000

Median house pieces in Louth were up 6% to €265,000 in quarter 4 of 2025 according to property website MyHome. 

Additionally the report showed the median price of a four-bedroom semidetached house in Louth in Q4 2025 was €319,000 an increase of 2.9% compared to Q3 and an increase of 7.23% annually. 

The median price of a two-bedroom apartment in Louth in Q4 2025 was €190,000 a quarterly increase of 0.53% and a year on year increase of 2.7%.

The report says that Ireland’s housing market is showing signs of settling into a steadier phase in late 2025, with bidding pressure easing from earlier highs and price growth levelling off.

National annual asking price inflation was just over 5% in Q4, broadly in line with results the previous quarter. Asking prices were essentially flat over the period, rising only 0.1%. This stabilisation follows a period during which the CSO’s Residential Property Price Index recorded 7.6% annual transaction price inflation in September, suggesting the slowdown in asking prices is set to filter through to sale prices in 2026.

The MyHome report for Q4 2025 found that annual asking price inflation was 5.4% nationwide. Annual asking price inflation in Dublin was also 5.4% and the rate was 5.5% in the rest of Ireland. 

Meanwhile, the report found asking prices nationally remained essentially flat on the quarter with a 0.1% increase and rising by 0.5% in Dublin. Prices were down by 0.6% in the rest of the country. 

This means the median asking price for new instructions nationally was €380,000 in Q4. In Dublin it was €475,000 and in the rest of the country it was €325,000.

The author of the report, Conall MacCoille, Chief Economist at Bank of Ireland, said: “This quarter’s MyHome report adds to the evidence that the pace of Irish house price inflation is starting to soften. Asking prices were flat in Q4 2025, up just 0.1% in the usually quiet winter months, with the annual rate of inflation slowing to 5.4%.  

“The market is still very tight. In December there were just 12,200 properties listed for sale on MyHome. The median time-to-sale-agreed remains low at 5–6 weeks.” 

Mr MacCoille added: “However, the froth in the market is subsiding a little. The median premium over asking has fallen back from a peak of 8.6% in July, to 7.4% in October and November.  

“The mortgage data also pointed to more sedate mid-single digit gains heading into 2026. The overall impression from this quarter’s MyHome data is of the market pausing for breath after substantial price gains in 2024 and 2025.”

Joanne Geary, Managing Director of MyHome, said: “It is encouraging to see continued momentum in residential construction, which is essential in improving choice for buyers over the medium term. Increased delivery in urban areas is critical to easing the pressures that persist in the market. 

“While there are early signs of stabilisation, conditions remain tight, and buyers continue to compete for a limited pool of properties. Ensuring that supply grows steadily will be key to supporting a more balanced market in the coming years.”
