House prices in Donegal have increased by 3% in the 3rd quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year.
According to the latest Daft.ie House Price Report, the average price of a house in the county is now €142,000, 25% above its lowest point.
Nationally, house prices have risen by an average of almost 47% from their lowest point in late 2013.
