The stock shortage has long plagued the property market and this has not been addressed

Conclusion
In conclusion, it is coming ever increasingly apparent that the delays in building new
residential units has led to house prices continuing to increase (average sales price increase of
38,994 Euro nationwide) Sales figures have declined over the last 12 months, in line with the
numberof salestransactions.All of the Dublinregions have seen a reduction in their sales numbers
from not only 12 month prior but also Quarter 1 2016 (expect for Dublin 1)
The numberof listingshasbeenonthe declineforanumberof years,asa nine year low was
realised for both sales and rental properties (60,000 to 24,000 sales listings and 13,000 to 3,600
rental listings) sales transactions over the last 12 months have followed a similar trend going from
4117 to 2779 in Quarter 2. Five regions in Dublin displayed a decrease in the average sales price
from Quarter 2 2015 to Quarter 2016, these were Dublin 18 (494,616 to 460,608 Euro), Dublin 12
(346,578 to 281,948 Euro), Dublin 2 (409,689 to 400,013 Euro), Dublin 6W (527,497 to 505,745
Euro) and Dublin 10 (157,318 to 147,571 Euro). These prices decreases were off-set by large price
increases in Dublin 1 (193,760 to 309,692 Euro), Dublin 4 (584,935 to 1,008,000 Euro) and Dublin 6
(487,952 to 744,973 Euro) All the areas experiencingthe largerprice increasesare located eithercity
based or just on the outskirts. In contrast to this the regions with dipping prices were mostly in
suburbs outside of the city.
Suburban livinghasbecome more popularcomparedto livinginthe city,especiallyasDublin
1, 2 and 4 combined to make up 359 transactions in Quarter 1 2016 reducing to 247 by the end of
Quarter 2 2016. Transactions across Dublin 1, Dublin 2 and Dublin 4 collectively made up 749 sales
and rental listings,with Dublin15and 18 alone totalling579transactions. The Dublinregionslocated
inthe citycentre and the close outskirts(Dublin1,Dublin2, Dublin4 andDublin6) have more rental
than saleslistings(410to 321 listings) whereasthe popularsuburbssuchasDublin 18, Dublin 15 and
Dublin 13 has the reverse (552 to 164 listings). The average price as mentioned in the above
paragraph is a main driver to for this trend, plus more new residential units are being delivered
outside of the city(example of thisbeing new residential developmentsin Adamstown, Cherrywood
and Belarmine). Presently, the CIS reports that there are 1,073 applications in the planning
submittedstage,1,073 for planninggrantedandonly 49 on site. The lack of new residential units in
the city centre hasbeen a main culprit for the larger price increases reducing the proportion of the
market with the funds or credit lines to purchase there, making more people willing or forced to
commute to work than in the past.
