FX.co ★ Irish Residential Property Price Growth Eases Slightly in March

Ireland’s residential property market saw a modest cooling in annual price growth in March 2026, with the year-over-year rate easing to 6.50%, down from 6.80% in February.

According to the latest data updated on 13 May 2026, the March figure compares the change in prices to March a year earlier, while February’s 6.80% reading reflected a comparison with the same month in the previous year. The slight slowdown suggests that while price growth remains robust, the pace of annual increases is losing some momentum.

The shift from 6.80% to 6.50% indicates that Ireland’s housing market is still experiencing solid gains, but without the acceleration seen earlier in the year, a development closely watched by policymakers, lenders and prospective buyers alike.
