The Residential Property Index (RPPI) for June 2023 was released this month. This publication by the CSO is a long running index looking at the cost of residential property in Ireland.

“The national Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) increased by 2.2% in the 12 months to June 2023, with prices in Dublin decreasing by 0.9% and prices outside Dublin up by 4.5%.”   – Central Statistics Office

This marks a consecutive decrease in RPPI as May reported a slightly less decrease of 0.1%. Last month’s decrease has been the largest decrease observed by the index since October 2020. Within Dublin, prices in the 12 months up to June 2023 fell by 3.8% in Dublin City, while prices rose by 2.8% in South Dublin over the same period, while the larger decrease in prices was observed among houses rather than apartments.
