Residential property prices increased 0.3% on a monthly basis in June, the first monthly growth since the start of the year, new figures from the Central Statistics Office show today.
That helped keep annual price inflation just about in positive territory with growth of 0.1%, the CSO said. But while housing transactions have recovered faster from the Covid-19 lockdown than many analysts predicted, purchases filed with Revenue were still down over 33% year-on-year in June, the CSO noted.
Today's figures show that Dublin residential property prices saw a decline of 0.7% in the year to June with house prices falling by 0.9% while apartment prices rose by 2.4%.
