The same central rules applies for 2019 Q1 & 2020 Q1. As mentioned Daft 2019 Q1 4% increase in Dublin, didn't result in actual transaction price increase even with added delay.

Obviously a developer, as the other half of the property is also for sale for 100K more, to be honest, it would likely been nicer as one large property with a higher price tag. It will be interesting to see what this sells for and it investment made to split this property into two was worth it.

There are plenty of properties sitting unsold for the last few years empty. If they didn't need the money then, they are likely to leave it unsold for another few years. Ignore those and concentrate on the ones that are dropping into your price point. If you want to watch all the properties dropping and those that don't for years and sit on the sidelines and watch. There is website perfect for this. The property pin. It's been moaning about property for a decade or more.

Then today rent dropped to €2,750 and also advertised for sale at €475,000. At €3,250 it would give an 8% yield which was about right in the market pre-covid. Now an 8% yield on €2,750 is €412,500. Another rental in the same block has been up for a month at €2,700 The apartment was bought 7 months ago for €417,000.

There is strong demand from US citizens in Ireland back to the States- sufficient to support 11 Aerlingus flights a week (have a look at their website- you can book (providing you're allowed travel)). Aerlingus have more transatlantic capacity right now- than all other carriers combined at the moment. TAP took 140 Portuguese from Dublin to LIS on Wednesday Lots of foreigners are going home- they'd rather be stuck at home in their home countries- than here- regardless of how bad things are at home.

Assetbacked wrote: » Under €2.2k is generally what I'd consider affordable so I'd keep an eye on it to that level and there are plenty coming on each day. I can't say for certain if it is more than normal but at the same time it doesn't seem like it is less than normal. Thinking about it again, maybe it is just renewals and reposting of ads as they don't seem to be disappearing from Daft as they would've done a few weeks ago.
