My Department does not collect data on the number of houses sold each year. However, an analysis of loans paid in the year 2005, indicates the proportional distribution of new and second hand houses in each of the price ranges requested in the Question.
Loan | Up to €350,000 | €350,001 to €400,000 | €400,001 to €450,000 | €450,001 to €650,000 | Over €650,000 |
New | 83.6% | 6.5% | 3.3% | 4.8% | 1.9% |
Second hand | 74% | 8.2% | 4.7% | 8.0% | 5.1% |
