House prices soaring by €100 a day as property heats up to boom-time levels

House prices are increasing by Celtic Tiger levels of almost €100 a day as the market shows no signs of slowing down.

The Q1 Irish Independent REA Average House Price Survey has found that average house prices rose by 3.16pc nationally in the first three months of the year, matching the 1pc-a-month increases experienced during the boom.

Almost 60pc of all purchasers were first-time buyers, a figure which rose to 76pc in Dublin as people with mortgage approval scramble to get a foothold on the housing ladder.

Two other property price surveys, released from Daft.ie and MyHome.ie, also show a continued property market squeeze with rising asking prices nationwide.

Investor demand for assets in the private residential sector gathered more momentum in 2021, making up 50 per cent of total investor spend in the second quarter.

Majority of new home schemes delayed by up to six months by Covid-19 lockdowns

As with other sectors, the new homes market has been adversely affected by the pandemic lockdowns.

The latest one will begin to lift on April 12th allowing developers to get back on site.

The demand for housing, which was already considerably in excess of annual supply delivery, has intensified in the last year. Key historical drivers of demand such as population growth, which has been the engine of demand in Ireland for the last decade, have been compounded by increased momentum from buyers whose jobs in sectors such as technology, media and telecom, finance and pharmaceuticals have been largely unaffected by the pandemic.
