Earlier this year the comprehensive index issued by the CSO gave detailed data by type of property and geography. The results show that residential properties in the capital suffered more than those outside Dublin. Apartment prices have also continued to drop. These results were mirrored in the last month’s results.

Dublin residential properties fell by 2.1 percent in September. Prices in Dublin are now down by 15.6 percent on this time last year.

Outside Dublin prices fell by one percent in September. This means prices are now 13.2 percent lower than they were in 2010.
