According to the Irish property portal Daft.ie, there has been a significant increase in nationwide demand for homes, with a rise of 17% compared to the previous year. The demand for New Homes specifically has experienced an astonishing surge of 114% nationally when comparing May 2023 to the same period in 2022. In Dublin, the demand has increased by 34% compared to the previous year, which is twice the growth rate observed nationally.

The demand for homes in the price range of €400k - €600k experienced the highest growth, with an increase of 38%. Within this range, there was a remarkable surge in demand for new homes priced between €400k - €500k, which witnessed a staggering rise of 1783%. This significant increase can be attributed to the eligibility criteria of the help-to-buy scheme, which requires the property’s purchase value to be €500k or less. Interestingly, there was also a notable growth of 20% (251% for New Homes) in the demand for homes listed between €600k - €800k compared to the same period last year.

In the most recent press release from Daft.ie, the largest property website in Ireland, it is evident that the demand for homes across the country has increased compared to the previous year. However, it is important to note that this press release does not address the supply side of the equation. Unfortunately, over the past 12 months, the supply of homes in the sales market in Ireland has been insufficient to meet the growing demand. The housing market in Ireland is facing a critical shortage of supply, and there is an urgent need for increased housing supply in the coming years and even decades.
