A joint income of almost €100,000 is needed to buy the cheapest apartment in the Greater Dublin Area.
That's according to a new report by the Society of Chartered Surveyors which looked at the cost of almost 10,000 apartments.
The report found that a couple would need a deposit of €38,000, and a combined salary of €96,000 to afford a two bed apartment in a Dublin suburb.
The Society of Chartered Surveyors is calling for more targeted supports for buyers struggling to get on the property ladder.
The cost of buying a new apartment in Dublin is on average between 375 and 569,000 euro.
According to the CSO, just 20 per cent of all households have earnings of over €80,000.
