The statistics enclosed in this latest www.daft.ie Rental Report will shock people accustomed with the market.
Once more – for the 25th successive quarter – rents have increased. Again – for the 10th sequential quarter – both a new record high for rents has been set and the year-on-year rate of inflation is over 10%.
Even though one could have predicted the main results for this report based on the last 2 or 3 Rental Reports, the outcome is more than just statistical perseverance. In the end, the cause for rents rising, nationwide, is because demand far exceeds supply.
