If you look at comments I have made I have said if anyone is buying to hold off and if anyone is selling and can afford to hold off and rent it out. People are spinning things that rents are going to come down and I dont see how over two thirds of the population will be still getting paid and the government will have to help out others

So once again i ask where will all of these people live or do you think everyone will take that risk?

I'm guessing a the most severe drop in second hand house prices, whilst new home development will slow but prices will remain higher albeit slightly lower. It really all depends on the length of time the lock downs go on for.

Lower waged people tend to spend all their pay in the month they get it too. Clearly the government is trying to replace this spending. The question is, to what degree will and can the government replace this spending without causing another sovereign debt crisis?

Ireland attracts a lot of foreign workers, they won't if jobs aren't available During recession people went away, a lot of apartments in city center were empty or rented for half current the price

Do you think any parent loving child will risk their parents lives to move in with them? Back in 2008 there was an abundance of places to buy and rent the same is not the case in 2020

Mic 1972 wrote: » The ones we imported may go away, the once we exported may or may not come back, it depends on where they went and if jobs are in danger there. You are using Ireland a blue print fro every country in the world
fliball123 wrote: » No I am not I am arguing the case with another poster who rightly pointed out that at this time in crisis that all foreigners are going to go home and forgot the argument about Irish people abroad coming home as well. I also asked the question if your coming home would you take the risk of staying with your parents who would be a lot older and lot more vulnerable could quite frankly kill them?
fliball123 wrote: » How do you know? What about people working in jobs that are easy to do remotely? All I am saying is if you are a person either in Ireland or not in Ireland and you are thinking of going home would you take the risk of infecting and killing your parents?

The smart and safe play is to stay calm and survive the bad times on the social welfare money. Landlords be prepared to start accepting SW payments/rates, request to lower the rents and also expect high numbers of non payments.
