Photograph: Dara Mac DónaillThe supply of second-hand homes for sale in Ireland remains “critically constrained” with fewer than 15,000 properties listed for sale nationwide in January, Sherry FitzGerald has said. The current stock of second-hand properties for sale remains 28 per cent lower than in January 2020, when 20,332 second-hand properties (1.1 per cent of total stock) were available. When compared with January 2020, several regions experienced sharp declines in available homes for sale. Delivering new homes at scale nationwide is essential to improving choice and easing pressure on the second-hand market,” she said.
