Pfffft! In this climate? Where are you living? Did your mother send you from Phily to live with your Auntie and Uncle?

K-9

Anything from 120k to 200k depending on how ignorant the seller is.

I can see prices going around 100k for a 3 bed Semi here.

I don't want to say how much houses in my area are worth.
People might try to rob me.

Are you asking cost, value or what they are actually worth, there is a difference in all three.

The cost of houses where I live, standard 3 bed, is around €200,000.
The net value is probably around €150,000
they are worth around €20,000 in my opinion.

Because I live in the most beautiful part of the country the values vary significantly

About three fiddy.

Absolutely nothing, in much of the country.
An estate agent or anyone else can put any price they want on a property; it's utterly meaningless.
If there is no potential buyer, it's worthless.

jester77

anything from 50,000 to 7,500,000 depending on what you are looking for

Fratton Fred

In Dun Laoghaire they are doing buy one get one free on apartments because there are so many. Hasn't stopped them building more though.

it depends what kind of property u have, house/appartment/land/shoebox, says drumcondra on you profile, 260-290k for a 3-4 bed house id say is about right, but its no time to be sellin imo and if anyones buying there prob lookin for a deal, its a tug o war between seller and buyer, u show me urs ill show u mine all that crap:)

for anyone around in the 1980s thats not far off the truth, 4-5 bedroom houses were going for IR£20-30k back in the mid 80s in the west, just did a quick calcuation and inflation from 1987-2010 is running at approx 100% :eek:

I reckon the average industrial wage in 1987 was about 9-10K

IMHO a house's value is based on the following.

10% the bricks and mortar
11% the land/footprint
79% the neighbours

Expensive beds...

JONJO THE MISER

Where i live in the country at the moment, houses are worth around 350,000 to 600,000 but they dont come on the market that often, most people have lived here all there lives and we dont take kindly to blow inns and people who will lower the tone of the neighorhood:D.
None of your riff raff around here i tells ya.

Giving the apallingly low standards of construction in a lot of cases 20,000 Euro Turkish Lira could actually be quite generous.

What, like steal your entire house?
The value of your house says nothing about it's contents.

The price of something is what someone's willing to pay for it, of course. With houses, you see lots of talk about factors such as location, scarcity, and neighbourhoods as influences on the price, but none of that matters if you can't pay for it.

You could pay for it a few years ago, when banks were giving out 100% mortgages with minimal checks. The sellers charged more because the buyers could pay more. That's not happening any more: now you need a larger deposit to get a mortgage linked to your verified income. Potential buyers will have less money, so sellers will have to charge less, or there will be no sale. (Yes, I know there will be exceptions, but I'm talking statistically here.)

IF someone wants to live in area x its what you will pay and what the bank will lend you,ie most of what you pay is for the right to live in area x close to shops ,bus service, dart etc Thats why a house in drumcondra is worth more than a house in tallaght .you can get into city center in 15 minutes, as opposed to 50 minutes from tallaght.
You can buy a house for 30k in ireland if you are willing to live in the middle of nowhere.
Theres an article on times online uk today, an architect says he built a new house for 25k in leitrim out of cheap materials.He,s setting up a blog to to publish the house plans free to download and print out.
HE advocates self building for persons and communitys.
And you will have a certain standard of living living there ,thats what you are paying for.
From a technical point of view the bricks ,mortar,roof, walls of a semi d are
prbly worth 50k, not counting the cost of the site.IE cost of materials,construction, minus stamp duty.
Just try and buy a site to build a semi d in drumcondra ,its practically impossible, to find a site there.

The market has changed now; there was a time when 150k wouldn't buy you a crevice big enough to pitch a dome tent on.

No, you only think it is because you're overpaid

And were stupid enough to take out a mortgage when you hadnt a hope in hell of meeting the repayments -especially when interest rates go back up........

People seem to assume what they can afford = what the bank is willing to lend them

priceless if it's a home for your family. We have to forget about financial value unless buying or selling and NOT borrowing on the strenght.

brummytom

Some of the houses are only around £300k; our is £500k, and would be one of the more expensive houses in the city.

So - just my area, not the ex-council houses - it'd be from about €344,000 - €573,000

Ah the infamous €90k (iirc) beach huts, standing room only. You couldn't make it up.

Where I am in Galway City, the cheapest 3 bed semi-detached is about 270,000.

That's what's being paid, not the asking price.

If you're ever going to buy a house, buy one before the year is out.

Take a wander up Gleann Dara past the interesting looking villa on the corner, as you go up its the first turn left, two properties for sale there, I called up to get a quotation on asking for the craic and was surprised to be told €200k. It's probably a ruse to get it to auction, but I'd say if you wandered in with €200k cash, they'd take your hand off.

Prices have a long way down to go yet.

Perfect example of how the housing market went, this is a 6 bed house. Look at the size of the kitchen and the sitting room FFS. same as an average 3 bed semi. If you need 6 beds you need a sitting room and a kitchen for minimum 6 people, barely fit 5 in that sitting room. Maximum amount of bedrooms into the smallest space possible,

well done Galway planners, take a bow
