Sligo & Leitrim house prices expected to rise 10% in 2025

The price of the average second-hand three-bed semi in Co Sligo and County Leitrim is predicted to increase by 10% in 2025,

It’s one of the key findings in a national survey by Real Estate Alliance.

Three-bed semi-detached homes in Sligo now cost an average of €245,000, up 13% on the December 2023 average of €217,500, the Q4 REA Average House Price Index shows.

Sligo town prices rose 9.4pc in 2024 to €290,000, while prices in Tubbercurry rose by 17.6pc to €200,000.

There’s said to be a lack of house building the county overall which is keeping upward pressure on second-hand house sales, which are in short supply and are considered to be at an all-time low.

The absence of new home building, and historically low supply has seen three bed semi-detached homes in counties Donegal and Sligo increase by over €10,000 in the past 12 weeks – with an average annual rise of 16pc.

This is twice the rate of increase in commuter counties, which rose by 7.5pc over 2024.

The price of the average second-hand three-bed semi in Co Leitrim is predicted to increase by 10pc in 2025, according to a national survey by Real Estate Alliance.

Three-bed semi-detached homes in County Leitrim now cost an average of €197,500, up 8pc on the December 2023 average of €182,500.

Prices for the small supply that was on the Leitrim market are said to have hardened, with all properties moving quickly and some of the well-located, well-finished ones making exceptional prices.

For the first time since 2006 there was 3 bed semi sale in Leitrim at a price point over €300,000.
