    Pffft, think of his posts as Fiat Puntos, and mine as Mercedes Benzs. There's loads of both on our roads, but the quality of one is a lot better than the quality of the other.:p

    He's right. The quality of Mercs is gone to pot in the last few years.

    I'd forgotten about good ole Morningstar.

    Property is reaching its true value in my opinion. As a small coutry we are majorly affected by supply here, we have a limited amount of land, especially close to the city in Dublin. Prices will climb for another 2 -3 years and then level off with the possibility of a small decline.

    It won't burst, but it will plateau in a while. This year will see prices rise at an unreal rate as real estate agents will up prices to 'cope with the foreseeable demand' from the SSIA crowd. It will level out though.

    I agree with all the rebuttals to the OP. That article is grossly misleading and shows a total lack of knowledge of both financial and economical circumstances. The prophets of doom have been harping since 1998 or so, and one would hope that most of them are still filling out their rent books in between bouts of banging their heads off the wall in sheer frustration.

    Immigration is having a huge impact on housing. As long as the eatern euopans continue to stream in (and they will) they will need places to live. The market is not going to "burst". To many vested interests, and too easily controlled by the developers. At best it will level off.
    It is interesting to see the zeitgeist changing so fast though, in the course of two years we have gone from "sure you'd be mad not to buy property" to the exact opposite. Most posts early on were strongly bullish about property in this country, reality be damned, and look where we are now. 10% drops in the first few months of 2008, and no end in sight.

    And all those bullish posters especially Morningstar have NOT come back to the topic in the Accommodation forum or here since for 2 years now, they hate to admit they were wrong :D

    From his profile..

    "Last Activity: 28-08-2006"

    Timing is the essence of comedy.

    or did he magically change into another username? FillSpecter or something?

    MorningStar => FillSpectre => ??? Unless he has really changed his unique posting style (no compromise, not one iota!) I think he is no longer with us. Maybe too busy managing his property empire? Though to be honest he seemed like a fairly reasonable landlord type and one who put some effort into business, not like a lot of the Johnny-Come-Lately types who will probably face financial problems over the next 5 years of pain.

    All the property bulls are dead and gone, they're with Michael Lynn in the gra.....err, on the lam!

    I almost replied to this with a spontaneoous "welcome to last year" or the like. Lucky I read it. But to whoever dug this up, let this be a lesson - you could have cause soemone who wasn't paying any attention to embarrass themselves. Learn from this mistake, or else.

    It's interesting to read this thread. Back when this thread was first posted, I was a lurker on boards and still in college. Afterhours was a place to discuss general things. Notice the lack of Yore Ma and funny one liners?:pac:

    Then it was bumped two years later and we had the "Ho ho-times have certainly changed!" and Yore Ma graced us with her presence.

    Now, I bump it and it the economy has kind of tanked in the mean time. There will be lots of "In before the lock", linking to facepalm and other memes and the whole rough and tumble of modern Afterhours culture and thanks whoring.

    Before it's locked, can a moderator make a mental note to bump this in 2 year's time? I want to see the Buzz generation making their contribution as well.:pac:

    Won't be buying a house for a few years. Will save some money first before taking out a moderate mortgage for a moderately sized house.

    What is this "Bible" you speak of?

    That's a lyric from my favourite Stone Roses song.

    "Fools Gold" would be more appropriate.

    Its scary the amount of people who thought that property would just continue to grow in value indefinetly.
    I remember Brian Cowen, in his last job, doing an episode of questions and answers. When panellists started getting uppidy with their questioning re the economy, he silenced the desenters by saying "Hold on now, Im the minister for finance! I think i know what im talking about!"

    Yeah right!

    Nice to read back and see how Property was ingrained as the "golden goose".
    But you cant blame people who didn't see it coming, the shower of cúnts who were voted in to represent us, were the ones shouting the loudest "soft landing", "harbingers of doom" "talk down the economy", fecking shills.

    Some of the people in the start of the thread - wow, you were So wrong. "Its the paper though! DONT TRUST JOURNALISTS! TRUST NOBODY!"

    As if you had looked at the Data. You hadn't. Neither had I, but then I am pretty damn sure I never refuted or discussed the Bubble back then.
