Retirees now driving up house prices in scenic areas along Ireland's coastline
Briefly

The property market in scenic coastal counties has experienced a dramatic price increase of up to 60% since 2020, as revealed by the latest IPAV barometer. This surge is largely fueled by the rising demand from semi-retired and retired individuals seeking homes in these desirable locations. In addition to the substantial increases, the overall average price growth in the property market was nearly 10% last year, highlighting a consistent upward trend in housing costs in Ireland's popular regions.
