DAVY VIEW
2025 marked another year of growth in the Irish mortgage market. There are three factors at play. Ongoing increases in average mortgage size as the constraints of the housing market continue to impact, an increasing contribution from new builds and re-mortgaging normalising back to long-run average levels. Housing policy changes and initiatives should begin to positively impact housing and therefore the overall mortgage market size which has returned to growth in recent years.
