Wexford Housing Market Prices Up, But Inflation Easing
What happened
Ronan Lyons published an analysis of the housing market in County Wexford, noting that listed prices were up in the third quarter of 2026. On average, prices in Wexford were 6.6% higher than a year earlier, with the typical four-bedroom detached house priced at €479,000. This growth rate exceeded the national average of 3%, where the average listed price across all property types was just under €445,000. The report indicated that the pace of house price inflation was slowing, with transaction prices rising by only 0.8% over the year, the slowest rate since 2020.

Why it matters
The findings suggest a cooling trend in the housing market, with homes also requiring more time to sell. Nationally, the gap between initial asking prices and final sale prices had narrowed to 2.6%, down from 6.8% the previous year. The analysis provides a regional benchmark against the national average for the Irish market.
