The price of the average second-hand three-bed semi in County Monaghan has risen by 4% in the past year to €202,000 but remained stable in the last three months, according to a national survey by Real Estate Alliance.
Across the county, the average property is taking four weeks to reach sale agreed, the REA Average House Price Index shows.
The survey also found a total of 40% of purchasers this quarter were first time buyers, with 10% of buyers coming from outside of the county.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Dermot Conlon of REA Gunne Property, in Carrickmacross said the property market has stalled somewhat in recent weeks, with enquiries and viewings currently down.
He added that people have become more cautious, and there is a "very negative narrative" in the media regarding energy costs and interest rates.
Nationally, the rate of house price inflation has halved in the past three months as rising costs cause home buyers to be more cautious, the index shows.
The actual selling price of a three-bedroomed semi-detached house across the country rose by 1.4% over the past three months to €290,630 – representing an annual increase of 10%
This is a marked slowdown on the 2.9% quarterly increase recorded in the preceding three months, signalling a cooling of the frenetic demand in the marketplace.
And the index found that A rated homes are commanding a 12% premium over their C rated equivalents – a figure that rises to 16% in the capital as running costs become more important to home buyers.
