Housing completions are expected to hit 40,000 this year before growing to 47,000 by the year 2028, but sustaining that growth “will depend on maintaining momentum” across planning reform, construction capacity, and managing construction inflation, a new report has found.
According to the latest forecasts from EY Ireland for Euroconstruct — an independent construction market forecasting network active in 19 European countries — Irish housing completions are expected to hit 40,000 this year, 43,000 next year, and 47,000 in 2028.
A total of 36,284 new homes were completed in 2025, up 20.4% from 2024. The Government is targeting 300,000 homes between 2025 and 2030.
