The number of houses sold in Carlow Kilkenny was very low in the past year.
The figures come from the latest report by GeoDirectory.
Carlow and Kilkenny both have a low turnover rate in the housing market in the last year.
Carlow had a turnover rate of 1.9 in the residential property market with Kilenny even lower at 1.8 percent in the past 12 months.
The national figure is 2.1 but that’s a little distorted by the Dublin figures which are much higher than elsewhere at 2.5 percent.
Monaghan was the worst in the country on 1.3 while Tipperary wasn’t much better on 1.6.
The average price of a house changing hands in Carlow since June 2015 was €140,000.
Kilkenny is considerably higher on €174,000 but still way below the national average of €232,000 and further still behind Dublin which is €380,000.
Another interesting stat in terms of the homelessness crisis show that local vacancy rates are lower than the elsewhere.
Kilkenny has a vacancy rate of only 9.4 with Carlow on 10.2, while the national figure is nearly 13%.
