Latest Report Shows Midlands And National House Prices Rising

Demand is driving house prices up once again.

The rate at which house prices are rising across the country has reached 4.1%.

A new MyHome.ie report for the third quarter of the year shows that's a slight increase of 0.6% nationally.

Midlands house prices rose sharpest in Offaly in this quarter, up €17,500 euro.

Property prices in Laois have risen by €10,000, while they were unchanged in Westmeath.
