House prices cost less in many counties now than they did a year ago.
That's according to the latest Daft.ie house price report out today, which shows nationally prices are 0.5% cheaper than last year.

The average price of a home in Laois is €235,000, in Westmeath it's €259,000, and in Offaly it's €243,000.
There were just over 3,400 properties on the market in Leinster (outside Dublin) on June 1, up 16% on the same date a year ago.
