House prices in Clare have risen by 19 per cent over the past year.
Figures contained in the Daft.ie quarterly report show that the average asking price for a house in the county is now €147,000.
The figure is well above the national average of 3.9 per cent despite a rapid rise in asking prices right across the country.
Chief Economist with Daft.ie Ronan Lyons says Clare saw one of the largest increases among rural counties.
