I want to get a general index of house prices for Dublin. I am sure it must be there, but I can't find it.

The question I want to answer is where are house prices now in comparison to previous years?

For example, something like the following ( I am only guessing the figures)

Jan 1990|100
Jan 2000|300
Jan 2007|700
today|400
 
Does this help...
Just select the year.....already filtered for Dublin.

try this

There's a report on House Prices there that might have what your after that goes back to 1975
 
Brilliant Delboy.

That's exactly what I was looking for.

This is the specific http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/FileDownLoad,15295,en.xls (link)

It suggests that Dublin house prices are back to about 2003 levels, which feels about right.

Personally, I'd put prices on family homes in middle class areas of SCD at 2005 prices i.e. about 20% to 30% below peak...and rising fast.

2003 might be more reflective of the average in Dublin as a whole

From another source I've heard they are at 2003 levels in Dublin.

What would be interesting to know, is when the vast bulk of properties that are in negative equity will be out of it. I presume it was in 2005/2006 or 2007 that most of these were bought. So in percentage terms how far from the current 2014 reflecting 2003 prices does it have to go. Not saying or thinking or discussing that it will of course.
 
There is a great piece of analysis from ChickenParmentier on The Property Pin

Dublin houses are currently at around 2003 levels which is what I had calculated.

Dublin apartments are currently at around 1999 levels.

Hi Bronte

This is such an interesting question, that I have addressed it in a separate thread.

House prices may be at 2003 levels in Dublin 'on average'.....but there's no trackers now v's 2003-2007, no TRS.

So in effect, are we actually much closer to 2007 in terms of affordability?

Prices in Blackrock hit the bottom in 2009 and have been rising for the last five years.
