The MyHome.ie figures show property prices in Kerry bucked the national trend by staying steady during the first three months of the year.

40% of sales in the county are to first-time buyers, with 30% of all purchasers coming from outside the area.
Donal Culloty of REA Coyne and Culloty, Killarney says there’s no doubt property prices will continue to rise, as there’s no stock available and no new developments coming on stream.
