Just one of the midlands counties saw prices rise year on year.
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.
It's the first time in three years that house prices have fallen, while the number of homes for sale is up by five percent.
In the midlands, prices have fallen slightly in Laois and Westmeath at 0.1% and 0.7% less than this time last year respectively.

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.
