Property advisor Savills Ireland has reported a consistent increase in visits from US users to its website in the weeks after the 2024 US Presidential election.
Savills Ireland said traffic to its website is up 49% from November 6, 2024, the day after the US Presidential election, through February 11 compared to the same period the previous year.
Savills says this sustained interest builds on an initial spike right after the election, when searches from the US jumped by an average of 342% from the week before.
Further analysis of the three months following the election, compared to the same timeframe a year earlier, confirms this continued strong interest from US audiences.
Savills attributes this ongoing interest to potential economic and political shifts in the US, making Ireland an increasingly attractive destination for investment and relocation
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the data continues to show a significant correlation with the political leanings of US states. Indeed, Savills notes that Delaware, former President Joe Biden's home state that voted blue in 2024, showed the highest increase in searches.

Commenting, James Butler, Director of Country Agency at Savills Ireland, said: “The continued interest from the US in Irish properties, especially in country homes, underscores the enduring appeal of Ireland as a prime destination for international buyers looking for stability and quality of life.”
Catherine McAuliffe, Director of Residential, Savills Cork, added: “Cork remains the most popular destination for US purchasers, as indicated in our recent analysis of the demand for prime country homes.
"This ongoing trend is a testament to the unique charm and investment potential of Irish real estate, particularly in regions offering rich cultural and natural landscapes.”
