In the city, the average three bed semi-detached house now costs 240 thousand euro - up over 2 percent since December.
The average home in the county costs 132 thousand euro, up 1.5 percent.
The Real Estate Alliance says the easing of the Central Bank restriction on lending for first-time buyers has had an immediate effect on the market with a large rise in numbers at viewings and potential buyers with mortgage financing.
