There were small increases in farmland prices in the Republic of Ireland, while demand was strong in Northern Ireland, according to the Irish Farmers Journal Agricultural Land Price Report 2025. A free copy of the report will be included in next week’s Irish Farmers Journal.
It will detail land prices at national and county levels in the Republic and Northern Ireland. It also shows how land prices have moved in price over the past decade.
The report examines the supply of land for sale across the island of Ireland.
The number of farms offered for sale in the first half of 2025 was low but supply picked up later in the year. The figures are based on an analysis of the majority of land and farm sales across the country in 2025. The figures are calculated from sales by private treaty as well as by auction.
In the Republic, the most expensive land was in Dublin and the cheapest in Leitrim. The most significant price rises were in Cork and Kilkenny. Prices also rose in counties Roscommon, Monaghan, Louth, Wicklow, Kildare, Meath, Galway, Mayo, Kerry and Tipperary.
There were sharp drops in Westmeath, Waterford, Limerick, Offaly and Laois. Prices also fell in Donegal, Wexford, Clare, Sligo, Leitrim, Longford and Cavan.
Land prices in Northern Ireland continue to be higher than in the Republic where the average price rose in five counties. The sharpest increases were seen in Armagh and Tyrone. The only county to see a decrease in prices last year was Co Down. Strong demand in Northern Ireland is spilling across into the border counties of Louth and Monaghan, boosting prices.
Other issues examined in the report include the EU Nitrates rules and how they will affect demand for land as well as land prices and different taxation laws in France and New Zealand.
