Finglas, Swords and Rathfarnham have seen the highest volume of property sales in Dublin so far this year, followed closely by Dun Laoghaire and Blackrock.

The news comes as ValueMyProperty.ie published a report on the property market in Dublin, including the top-selling locations.

"The three-bed semi-detached house is a very popular choice for families in Dublin," said Tim Kelly, Director, ValueMyProperty.ie. "The problem is that there aren't enough properties available to meet the demand, which is driving up prices. An Bord Pleanála has advised that duplex apartments and high-density homes will be the future of housing, meaning that young families may have to give up the dream of buying a three-bed semi.
