Anyone on here buying outside Dublin at the moment? Thoughts?

Is it near work, is it a nice area, is your job secure, can you afford it? If yes, then the market is really irrelevant if you don't intend on selling.

Years ago I remember guys in a bar saying g that their house was worth 500k. When I asked as to when they were selling they told me they weren't. This type of asset speculation is only that, speculation. If you can afford it reasonably and you want to live there then go for it.

If it's an investment however, I wouldn't buy in the midlands. While they can make the biggest gains, they're also the first to tumble like a stack of cards in a recession.
