House prices across the country have now moved from recovery to growth mode, according to a new survey published today.

The 'How much is your house worth?' survey from the Irish Independent looks at 64 markets nationally. It shows substantial gains during 2014 and predictions of further growth in 2015.

It looks at average prices in every county based on sales from leading estate agents.

It found that Dublin house price growth has now extended out to Louth and Meath.

The survey looked at prices achieved by agents in Dundalk, Drogheda, Ardee, Dunleer, Navan, Trim, Dunshaughlin, Ashbourne, Slane, Kells and Duleek.

The residential property editor with the Irish Independent is Mark Keenan.

House prices in Monaghan also rebounded in 2014.

The survey looked at prices achieved by estate agents in Cavan Town, Cootehill, Bawnboy, Bailieborough, Monaghan Town, Castleblaney, Carrickmacross and Clones.

It found average prices range from €120,000 in Monaghan to €132,000 in Cavan.

Mayo has seen growth of 9% in prices in the county last year, based on prices achieved by estate agents in Westport, Claremorris, Ballinrobe, Castlebar and Ballina.

While a shortage of homes in Laois has seen residential property prices there increase by as much as 27% last year. The survey also found price hikes in Offaly and Westmeath.

It found that only house prices in Limerick city centre rose last year, with those in the suburbs and the county remaining flat.

Mark Keenan explains.

And house prices in Kildare are growing at one of the highest rates in the country, according to prices achieved by estate agents in Maynooth, Naas, Newbridge, Kildare Town and the Curragh.
