Year-on-year growth in Irish residential property prices cooled modestly in February 2026, with the annual rate slipping to 6.80% from 7.00% in January. The latest figures, updated on 15 April 2026, indicate a slight deceleration in the pace of price increases compared with the same period a year earlier.

The comparison is based on year-over-year changes, meaning February’s 6.80% reading reflects how prices have evolved versus February of the previous year, while January’s 7.00% figure measured prices against January a year earlier. Although growth remains robust in absolute terms, the marginal slowdown suggests some easing in upward pressure on Ireland’s residential property market as 2026 progresses.
