Asking Price v Actual Selling Price

BlazingSaddler

Hi all, apologies if this has been done to death within another thread but I am new to the second hand market as I purchased a new property 14 years ago so never had to go through this before! I am looking to move to a second hand property in Dublin 15. Would properties generally sell for much over the asking price?, I am looking in a fairly sought after location in Carpenterstown so expect it to be fairly competitive. Apologies for my ignorance but any advice would be appreciated.

Pretty much all of Dublin is going for above asking. There are some places that are advertised lower to drum up interest and others which are more realistically priced, so it's hard to say what amount a place will go for as it depends on too many factors. You'll get a feel for it after looking for a while and seeing what price the houses end up going sale agreed at.

My parents just bought in carpenterstown. Asking price in no way reflected sale price. It was just to attract bidders . they were the only bidder but had to up the bid twice to get the house. They wanted it so everyone happy in the end.

Use the property price register and daft/myhome to compare.
