The proportion of people who believe the Government could do more to help the property sector during Covid-19 was relatively high at 69%. If Ireland enjoys a v-shaped recovery from the crisis – a rapid decline and a bounce back – house prices could return to the level they are now by the end of next year.When asked what factors would encourage them to buy a property now, 35% of respondents said more available housing stock, 33% said more overall confidence in the economy, and 33% also said an easing of mortgage lending rules.

Keegan said it was “crucial” that construction is allowed to continue without interruption, “as it is clear that supply issues are still a significant concern for people”.
