Looking for 3 or 4 bed in Marian/Butterfield area of Rathfarnham to buy - have offer on table for our own but want to sell and buy at same time. A good size back garden is key. There is a good, though not perfect 3 bed on market for 249. If you know of anyone thinking about selling please let me know.

Your better off having your own sold its too messy sometimes the other way

In a different market yes....too wary to do it now

Why??? Its worse if you can't sell yours. We pulled out of a deal yesterday and we were the ones selling -people that were buying our house had a house to sell which they didn't mention this at the start.We are going abroad with my husband's job -so we just pulled the plug and are leasing ours because we don't have time to be waiting around.So I would wait till you sell yours.

I won't say the one for 249 is a bargain but it will be a while before anything like that comes to the market again.
For the most part that is a very well settled area and I doubt anybody will sell in the near future except executor sales.
What I would do in your situation is sell, then rent in the area and wait.
If you want to settle in that area and get good value, patience is the key.
