Roscommon House Price Survey June 2026

The price of the average second-hand three-bed semi in county Roscommon rose by 1.8pc to €282,500 in the last three months, according to the latest REA national survey.

Across the county, the average time taken to reach sale agreed was four weeks, the Q2 REA Average House Price Index shows.

Prices in Roscommon town rose by 1.5pc this quarter to an average of €330,000, while Castlerea prices rose by 2.2pc to an average of €235,000.

“This quarter we have mainly seen activity at the upper end of the market,” said Seamus Carthy of REA Seamus Carthy.

“We have not seen any extra supply from landlord sales, and this may be a result of termination dates not being reached yet.

“Overall, it has been a busy quarter with higher end properties suppling most of our sales.

“Activity in the second-hand market now very much depends on the condition of the property.

“Ready-to-go properties are selling almost immediately, but agents have experienced a slowdown in interest for homes that need upgrading.

“The property that needs work is lagging behind because of the difficulties in securing tradespeople and a lack of confidence in proposed budgets due to rising costs.

“Purchasers who are willing to wait for a year to get their home into shape are availing of a range of grants from €50,000 - €70,000 depending on the condition of the property. This is in addition to the normal energy grants that are available.”

The survey shows that across the county, 40pc of purchasers were first-time buyers, while a total of 40pc of sales in the county this quarter were attributed to landlords leaving the market.

Additionally, agents across the county reported that the BER ratings of properties saw A-rated properties command 40pc price increases in comparison to comparable C-rated properties.

The REA Average House Price Index concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an accurate picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide.

The actual selling price of a three-bed, semi-detached house across the country rose by 0.9pc in the past three months to €367,988 – the first time the quarterly rate of increase has been under 1pc in over two years.

This represents a 5.8pc annual rise – slowing gradually from the 8.7pc increase registered at the end of 2025.

The Q2 Index shows that while the rate of increase in sales prices has halved in the capital over the past three months, from 1.6pc to 0.8pc, average Dublin house prices have broken the €600,000 barrier for the first time.
