There were 120 residential properties sold in Laois during November according to the Property Price Register, an increase of 3% on the 2023 figure.
After three consecutive months of decline, including a severe drop of 62% in September, the news for November will be a welcome respite for the industry.
In total, there was approximately €34 million spent on houses in Laois this November – double what was spent here in October and about €5 million more than the same month in 2023.
This is a huge turnaround for the property market in Laois, which had been in the midst of a very worrying quarter.
The average price for a house in Laois, fell off a cliff in recent months, dropping as low as €218,750 in October.
However, the penultimate month of the year sees the average price of a house in the county now over €283,000.
The year-on-year figures show a significant increase, up almost €31,000 on the figure from this time 12 months ago of €252,175.
This was a huge month for the property market in Laois, with three properties exceeding the €600,000 barrier, two breaking the €500,000 barrier, and six exceeding the €400,000 barrier.
On top of that, a further 50 properties exceeded the €300,000, bringing the total to 61; this represents over 50% of all properties sold, and is almost double the number from November 2023.
