changed much?
Has the price of these houses changed much in the past four years?
Here TheJournal.ie looks at a few specific examples.
THE LAST COUPLE of years have been good ones for property owners.
The long-term downturn that set in after the crash in 2008 saw house prices stay down for almost five years – but they have been back rising again since the end of 2012.
Figures from last month show a year-on-year increase in property prices of 16.8%.
Sometimes though it can be hard to grasp these numbers in real terms. To give a better idea of how these changes have been taking effect, here we look at how prices have changed on a few residential streets and properties around the country.
