Meanwhile house-hunters can apply for the 'help-to-buy' scheme online from today.
Designed for first time buyers of new homes, it'll give them 5 per cent back on the price of their property.
The grant coincides with two new reports showing a nationwide surge in house costs.
Daft.ie claims that prices have gone up by more than a third over the last three years.
While MyHome.ie says it had just 20-thousand properties for sale on its Website by the end of the 2016.
Daft's Ronan Lyons, says the lack of supply is pushing up prices:
"If you compare it to December 2014, two years previously, there were almost 30,000 properties available for sale across the country.
So that's a fall of almost a third in the space of two years. That's why prices are rising, a lot of demand but not a lot of supply."
