Over the past 3–6 months, rental prices in Cork have continued to climb moderately, with average asking and advertised rents rising further following sustained increases through 2025. This upward pressure has been driven by continued low availability of homes to rent, strong demand in the city and commuter zone, and limited new supply relative to population growth. Rents remain well above long‑term averages and continue to reflect tight market conditions compared with other Irish cities.

The current median monthly rent in Cork is approximately €2,100 on the open market.
