In May 2011 permanent tsb / ESRI decided to cease the production of the house price index.
This decision has been taken primarily as a result of the introduction by the Central Statistics Office [CSO] of a monthly index which will measure average prices for dwellings around the country and which is based on information provided by a number of financial institutions. The CSO index will be published monthly from today [13th May 2011]. We believe that it does not make sense to continue to produce our own index when the CSO will be producing a similar index based on a more comprehensive set of information.
