A NEW REPORT from Daft.ie has found that demand for homes has risen 17% year on year in Ireland, and that demand for new build homes is up 114% compared to last year.
Homes listed with a price listed between €400,000 and €600,000 saw the largest growth in demand, as it has risen by 38% compared to last year.
Within that bracket, new homes at a price point of €400,000 and €500,000 saw a huge surge in demand of 1783%.
Homes in the €600,000 to €800,000 also saw an increase in demand, of 20%.
18 out of 26 counties assessed by Daft.ie saw an increase in demand compared to this time last year.
Demand for homes in Dublin is up 34%, which is double the growth in demand seen across the rest of the country.
Meath has seen the second highest growth in demand, while Limerick, Offaly, and Louth all falling just behind.
The Daft.ie report looked at growth and change in enquiries sent to the company on property listings across their ‘for sale’ section.
A spokesperson for the company said that their findings show that demand for homes has grown nationwide year on year.
“The other side of the equation, however, not covered here is supply, and the supply in the sales market in Ireland over the course of the last 12 months was not one where supply was adequate to meet demand.
“The Irish housing market is in desperate need of increased supply over years and indeed decades to come,” they said.

There’s tragedy in life like the death of a child .Things never get back to the way they were. RIP to all those who died. Unimaginable heartache for their families …
Thank you for changing the headline. Those four deaths are equally tragic and all four were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s unfair to think the family of the little girl is hurting more than the families of the three men. RIP to all of them.
Hi Theresa, it wasn’t intended for the three men to be ‘treated like they didn’t matter’. They were mentioned in the excerpt just below the original headline.
I know they were aoife but every death is tragic and should be treated equally. You mentioned them but didn’t feel their death was as tragic.
Hi Theresa, it’s incorrect to say I didn’t feel their death was as tragic. They were not in the headline but were in the subheading right under the headline, and also in the first line of the piece.
I understand your concern of course, and did change the headline, but it’s not fair to make an assumption about what I do or do not feel about these men’s deaths.
Why weren’t they in the headline? Can you explain your reason to give them a little mention?
relax Theresa, she has already clarified.
Sounds reminiscent of the incident in Scotland….
Four people died here so I don’t get the focus on one person. Your headline is off side.
Have you got kids Theresa because losing a 4 year old is cruel hence the headline focusing on the loss of the kids life who was really just beginning life, think before you comment would be my advice to you
Those three men might have children who are now without a father. Grief is not just for parents. I personally find the story one sided and the three men just added like they didn’t matter. It’s just how I see it.
Give it a rest will ya. There’s always one person who can manage to be offended by everything
Why are arguing about whose death is more tragic? Have a bit of compassion and think before you type.
RIP to the four people here, I hope and pray the grandmother recovers. My thoughts are with the families left behind :(
Horrific,I remember something similar happening on the long mile road many years ago when a container fell off a lorry.
How desperately sad for the families of the bereaved.
Theresa untwist your knickers
What were the ages of the men?
have your say
