Savills – Prime Country Home Market, 2025

The report by Savills "Prime Country Home Market, 2025" examines Ireland's economic prospects and real estate market dynamics. This report highlights Ireland's economic growth projections, with GDP expected to grow by 4.0% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026, outpacing EU averages. The positive outlook is supported by easing inflation and ECB's interest rate policies. However, geopolitical challenges, such as trade policies under the renewed Trump administration, pose risks. The report discusses potential impacts on Ireland's trade surplus and foreign investments, particularly concerning US trade tariffs and corporate tax changes. Despite these challenges, Ireland remains attractive to US firms due to its skilled workforce and strategic position as an EU gateway.
