The typical price paid for a home in Clare last year jumped by 18,000 euro.
That’s according to new figures released by the CSO, which also show the level of growth in house prices here was far higher than the national average.
Clare FM’s Gavin Grace reports.
The Residential Property Price Index is calculated on the basis of revenue returns, as opposed to asking prices.
So while a number of property websites have consistently stated asking prices here are on the up, this is proof that it is actually happening when sales are going through.
Nationally, prices rose 7.1% last year but the growth in house prices in the MidWest far outstripped this, jumping by over 20%.
While still behind the height of the Celtic Tiger, the typical home in Clare cost 176,000 euro last year, up by 18,000 euro in twelve months.
However, house prices in the West of the County were around 40 thousand euro less than this.
