The Irish economy continued to grow strongly in 2018. Most of the key economic indicators which impact the residential housing market point to continued positive performance in the sector. There are clear challenges in 2019 and, apart from obvious ones like Brexit, the threat of higher interest rates, increasing mortgage payments and general affordability may become a factor sooner rather than later.

Nonetheless, the Central Bank, ESRI and other commentators have optimistic outlooks for economic performance of c. 4.5% GDP in 2019.
