2025 Enniscorthy Property Update - Summer Review

Enniscorthy Property Market Review — Summer 2025

As the summer months draw to a close, it is an opportune moment to reflect on the state of the Enniscorthy property market. While national resources such as Daft.ie provide valuable data, the purpose of this review is to bring the picture closer to home, focusing solely on the trends, prices, and dynamics that matter to local buyers and sellers.
It has been a strong year for Enniscorthy so far. Properties within the town continue to attract solid interest from multiple buyers, regardless of size or type. Two-bedroom starter homes, three-bed family houses, and larger properties are all seeing heightened competition, with well-presented homes moving particularly quickly. The principal challenge for many prospective purchasers remains the lack of available stock. The number of second-hand homes for sale is down 11% compared to this time last year, according to Daft.ie, a further tightening on already low levels in recent years. While stock levels are healthier than they were in 2021, demand still far outstrips supply. In the below graph, as you can see houses advertised is significantly lower than last year.

 
One notable shift in the market over the past year has been the increased demand for four-bedroom homes. Whenever a good-quality four-bed, particularly a new build, becomes available, the response is immediate. This is a trend that has been gaining momentum and is likely to continue as growing families seek additional space.

Prices have moved upwards in line with the broader county trend. County Wexford as a whole saw a 14.4% year-on-year increase in Q2, and Enniscorthy’s median sale price has climbed from €237,271 in mid-2024 to €293,715 this year. While a handful of high-value transactions have influenced this figure, the overall increase reflects a genuine strengthening of the local market. Even so, Enniscorthy’s median remains slightly below the county-wide figure of €323,721.

Breaking this down further, entry-level two-bedroom semis now range between €190,000 and €230,000. Three-bedroom semis, often used as a benchmark for the broader market, have also risen in price across all estates. In Cluain Bui and Bridgemeadow, recent sales have achieved between €230,000 and €240,000 depending on condition and BER rating. In Madeira Woods, one of Enniscorthy’s most sought-after addresses, prices for three-bed semis now sit between €270,000 and €280,000 — nearly 15% higher than last year and well above the county’s average increase. Interestingly, two-bedroom properties, which were once slower to sell, have gained significant popularity this year. This is likely a reflection of affordability constraints, as some buyers adjust their expectations in the face of rising prices.

The new homes market remains robust. In the Greenhill Estate, Phase 5 is almost sold out ahead of its completion in the coming months, and sales in Phase 6 are progressing strongly, with completion scheduled for early next year. Three-bedroom semis in this development are priced at around €320,000, which is in line with other new-builds currently on the market in Enniscorthy.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2025, the fundamentals point to further modest price growth. With stock levels lower than last year and no major increase in supply expected, prices are likely to rise by a further 1% to 3% by year’s end. While this is slower than the sharp gains of recent years, it still represents a steady upward trend. Demand is expected to remain strong, continued interest from buyers relocating from other parts of the country, and the general appeal of Enniscorthy’s value compared to larger urban centres.

For buyers, preparation is key. Having mortgage approval in principle ready will allow you to move quickly when a suitable property comes up, as competition remains strong. For sellers, presentation matters more than ever. Well-staged, walk-in condition homes are generating the most interest and achieving the strongest prices, while correct pricing — based on recent local sales — helps maximise results and minimise time on the market.

In summary, Enniscorthy enters the latter half of 2025 with a market defined by limited supply, healthy demand, and steady price appreciation. While affordability pressures may shape buyer choices, the underlying strength of the market is unlikely to change in the short term.
