It has emerged that the average price of a house in Dublin in June was €369,000.
There were fears - or hopes - that the pandemic would spark a huge drop in the cost of a house.
Property prices across the country did fall in the year to June, but only by 3.3%.
And rents continued to rise in Dublin, with the average monthly rent of a house at €2,023, a survey by Daft.ie found.
With the cost of renting a home still sky high, it's understandable people are looking to buy.
