This average increase of €15,000 puts Kildare above the €400,000 threshold, making it the first time a county outside of Dublin has done so

The average cost of houses in Kildare have gone up, according to a national survey conducted by Real Estate Alliance.

The price of the average second-hand three-bed semi in Kildare has increased to €411,250, up 3.8% from €396,250.

This average increase of €15,000 puts Kildare above the €400,000 threshold, making it the first time a county outside of Dublin has done so, the Q3 REA Average House Price Index shows.

Naas remains a sought-after residential location, with its market experiencing a higher prince increase than its neighbour Newbridge.

The survey shows that across the county, 70% of purchasers were first-time buyers and 50% of purchasers were from outside of the county.

A total of 5pc of sales in the county this quarter were attributed to landlords leaving the market.

The actual selling price of a three-bed, semi-detached house across the country rose by 2.7% in the past three months to €323,741.
