Global house markets have been thoroughly affected by the China stock market crash over the past weeks, with clear numbers showing decelerating price growth in many regions of the world.

Ireland may have seen a dramatic rise in high property price rises this year, but still prices marked down to about 0.4% last June as reported by the Central Statistics Office, according to the same article.
