Budget 2026 is widely expected to create a strong environment for anyone planning to sell their home in Ireland in 2026. With the Help-to-Buy scheme extended to 2027 and the introduction of targeted mortgage interest relief, more first-time buyers and movers are likely to enter the market. This increased affordability boosts buyer confidence and leads to higher demand—especially in popular commuter locations such as Lucan, Celbridge, Leixlip, Maynooth, and Kildare, where supply remains limited.
For homeowners considering selling, Budget 2026 supports a stable and active Irish property market, meaning more viewings, more interest, and stronger offers throughout 2026.
