At €250,000, the county’s median new-home price was €125,000 below the national figure, highlighting the Premier County as a relatively affordable option for prospective buyers.

Across Munster, prices varied considerably. County Cork led the province with a median new-build cost of €361,000, more than €100,000 higher than Tipperary. 

On a national scale, the median price for a newly built home reached €375,000, with South County Dublin at the top of the market at €645,000.

Analysis of the Tipperary housing market in 2025 shows that different property types experienced contrasting levels of growth. 

Detached two-bedroom homes posted the largest increase, rising by 36.8% to €214,000. This compares with a national average of €306,000 for similar properties. 

By contrast, detached three-bedroom homes in the county saw the smallest rise in value, increasing by just 4.5% to €282,000 over the same period.

The price per square metre also illustrates Tipperary’s relative affordability. In the final quarter of 2025, the typical cost per square metre of a three-bedroom semi-detached house nationally was €3,795. 

In Tipperary, the corresponding figure was considerably lower at €2,550, reinforcing the county’s position as one of the more accessible regions for homebuyers.

These figures underline the widening gap between Tipperary and the more expensive urban areas of Ireland, particularly Dublin, where housing costs continue to far exceed the national average. 

While some types of homes in the county have seen significant price growth, the overall market remains more affordable than elsewhere in the country.
