New data shows that prices rose 16.3pc year-on-year, compared with an EU average of just 1.1pc.
Figures from Eurostat show the continued upward march on prices as new mortgage lending rules and a lack of property coming onto the market fuels increases.
Among the member states for which data are available, the highest annual increase in house prices to the fourth quarter of 2014 was recorded in Ireland, where prices rose 16.3pc.
It is followed by Malta (11pc), Sweden (10.4pc), Estonia (10.1pc) and the UK, which is up 10pc.
The sharpest falls were in Slovenia, where prices fell 4.4pc, Cyprus (3.3pc), Latvia (3.2pc) and Italy (2.9pc).
And despite some slowdown in recent months as new lending rules from the Central Bank take hold, prices continued to rise in the last three months of 2014 compared with the period between June and September.
