    They keep saying dumb things in the media.

    Now is a good time to buy

    there is value out there

    Good time to get on the first rung of the property ladder.

    I know its unlikely that they would say anything to their detriment but come on!

    Now is the worse time to buy, Its like buying a brand new car and loosing 25% of its value in the first week.

    If I were an EA I'd be saying all the same things.

    'Now is the ideal time to invest in Ireland's top financial institute, shares are low and won't go lower.'

    Guess where I work ;)

    They are akin to Del Boy...will try sell you things you dont want at a price you cant afford.



    I'm going to view two properties this evening, both places are a little out of what Im willing to pay but one property has been up since november last year, and had 3 price drops (god bless property bee!!!)Its gonna be nice watching them squirm.

    Are we going somewhere with this thread?

    bobbiw- if you want to start a thread discussing estate agents- be my guest- but don't slander or libel anyone. Also- please stop randomly posting hate messages about estate agents throughout this forum- I like things to be neat and tidy- it would be nice to have the estate agent commentary *here* in this thread.

    Cheers,
