Budget 2026 is expected to keep property prices in Ireland stable with potential for moderate growth, particularly in areas with high buyer demand and limited stock. Key budget measures—including the Help-to-Buy extension, mortgage relief, and incentives to keep landlords in the rental market—help support steady demand, which is positive for sellers.
Homes that are energy-efficient (BER A or B), modernised, or located near transport, schools, or town centres in areas like Lucan, Celbridge, Leixlip, and Kildare are likely to achieve the strongest prices. With more buyers encouraged back into the market, 2026 could be an excellent year to sell your home for a competitive price.
