Thousands of Irish people are now looking to get onto the property ladder but with house prices soaring across the country, prospective homebuyers are finding it increasingly difficult to find a house to make a home.
According to Central Bank data, the average house in Ireland cost €318,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The CSO also revealed that house prices have risen nationally by a further 2.2% on average between December and the end of April.
