Mid Ulster's average house price of £169,610 was the sixth highest of the eleven districts, while the area posted year-on-year growth of 11.8%, tied with Newry, Mourne and Down in fourth place.
Its quarterly growth of 4.8% was the fourth highest in Northern Ireland, but the picture in Derry City and Strabane was not as positive.
