Are house prices likely to fall in the next while?

Not a great indicator but MyHome have a price changes page on their website to give an idea what the market is like probably more so overvalued houses decreasing mind you.

The mid to high end of the market is pretty stagnant, with some significant price drops, as a lot of people are waiting to see what effect Brexit has, but there's also a shortage of people able to get mortgages of that size thanks to the stricter rules. Anecdotal, but two houses near me for been on the market for ages, one is sale agreed with the seller terrified that the buyer will pull out, and the other hasn't had any offers despite price drops.

The lower end of the market seems to be doing better, presumably because more people meet the requirements for a mortgage.

At the end of the day though, there's still a massive shortage of houses in the Dublin region, and that isn't going to change any time soon. Even a recession, so long as it isn't as systemic as the last one(i.e. banks going bust), isn't going to change that central fact.


You'd probably get a better answer on the Accommodation and Property forum, I'm in no way an expert.
