In Laois, the average price of a three-bedroom semi-detached house in the third quarter of 2025 was €295,000, up almost 15% on what it was a year ago.
Housing prices nationally rose by an average of 0.8% during the third quarter of 2025, according to the latest Daft.ie House Price Report released today by Ireland’s largest property website, daft.ie.
Nationally, the average price of a three-bed semi-detached home in the third quarter was just over €421,000. Listed prices are now, on average, 5.9% higher than a year, 39% above their pre-covid levels and just 10% below their Celtic Tiger peak.
A look at the Daft website this week shows there are 80 three-bedroom properties currently for sale in Laois.
This includes detached and semi-detached. The highest-priced semi-detached homes are up to €395,000 in Portlaoise, while the lowest price seems to be for a home in Kilminchy in Portlaoise for €229,000 and for €235,000 in Borris-in-Ossory.
As Daft.ie celebrates 20 years of leading market analysis, the Daft.ie Report has been revamped and extended, to put more information at the fingertips of buyers, sellers and others interested in the housing market.
This includes cutting-edge methods applied both to transaction prices (based on the Property Price Register) and listed prices (based on the Daft.ie database), as well as stock available to buy, the number of transactions, market heat and a range of other metrics.
While prices were on average almost 6% higher than a year ago nationally, there were some important differences, with the lowest inflation seen – once again – in Dublin, where prices were 4.5% up year-on-year.
Price increases in Munster (+5% annually) and across the four other major cities (+5.8% on average) were also below the national average, which was dragged up by substantially larger increases in Leinster (outside Dublin; +7.2% annually) and Connacht-Ulster (outside Galway; +8.7% on average).
Inflation has eased compared to the start of the year but remains well above inflation in the wider economy.
As before, this is related to a significant lack of supply. On September 1st, there were a total of 11,925 second-hand homes for sale nationwide, up marginally (1%) on the same date a year previously. Nonetheless, availability is less than half the 2015-2019 average.
