The latest residential property price index indicated that house prices in Dublin rose by 5.4 per cent rose in annual terms. House prices rose by 7.3 per cent in the 12 months to October as demand for homes continued to outstrip supply. “While the almost static rate of house price growth will offer some relief to aspiring buyers, house prices still remain unaffordable for many,” said Trevor Grant, chairperson of Irish Mortgage Advisors. The CSO said its national index, measuring house price changes, reached the value of 202.3 in October. Dublin residential property prices are 8.9 per cent higher than their February 2007 peak, while residential property prices in the rest of the State are 26.2 per cent higher than their May 2007 peak, it said.
