The first three months of 2016 has followed a pattern set last year with good sales numbers but small price appreciation across the capital averaging just 0.3% for the quarter of 2016. It is interesting to note that entry-level property prices in the sub €250,000 category were the best performer and rose by just under 1% for Q1. Nevertheless, overall property prices in the capital remain broadly similar to where they stood 12 months ago which might suggest demand is more or
less equalling supply in the capital in a normal operating market. Unfortunately, Ireland’s property market is still not operating normally.
