The average home cost just over €366,000 in the 12 months to May.

According to a new report by GeoDirectory, the price of a midlands home was well below the national average, at €244,000.

Offaly offered the lowest average asking price for prospective house-owners at €234,000, followed by €248,000 in Laois and €251,000 in Westmeath.

Longford, Leitrim, Roscommon and Donegal were the only counties with an average price below €200,000.

The GeoDirectory found that's just below the national average of 3.9%.

Westmeath had the highest vacancy rate in the region, at 4.2% - that's followed by 3.7% in Offaly, and 3% in Laois.

The number of derelict properties was highest in the west, with Mayo registering 13.5% of the national total.
