The report looked at the average asking price for a three-bed semi-detached house in every county in Ireland.
It ranges from a reasonable €115,000 in Longford to an eye-watering €375,000 in Wicklow.
Using the latest figures from MyHome.ie we looked at what salary you would need to qualify for a mortgage on an average three-bed semi-detached home in every county in Ireland.
We based the figures on the normal maximum mortgage level which is capped at 3.5 times your gross annual salary.
Central Bank deposit rules also require a 10% deposit for first time buyers.
