However, house prices are up 2.2% in Kildare compared to the first quarter of this year.

House prices in Kildare year-on-year have fallen slightly, according to new figures from property listings website Daft.ie.

Its latest House Price Report found that house prices in the second quarter of 2023 were 0.2% lower than the same period a year ago.

According to Daft, the average listed house price in the county between March and June was €322,625, which is above the national average of just under €310,000.

Asking prices in Dublin dropped by 0.6% during the last 12 months.

Waterford, Cork and Galway cities also saw a fall, but Limerick bucked the trend where prices rose by just over 1%.

The number of homes available to buy on Daft.ie on 1 June stood at just over 13,000, up 5% on last year but well below the 2019 average of 24,200.

Listed in Leinster (outside Dublin) increased by 2.2% in the second quarter of 2023, in contrast to two previous quarters of price decreases.

The report authors say that while demand has weakened, so has supply - and underlying issues stemming from housing shortages will persist.
