Property Market 2020

Bigmac1euro

Maybe an article for “Property Market 2020”
Anyhow looks like developers are going to start strangling supply in order to keep prices in check.

Worth a read anyway.

If anything, this will result in jobs being reshored to Europe, Ireland, US etc. The pandemic has resulted in many MNCs identifying supply chain challenges.
Expect the likes of Apple to move some manufacturing out of China and back to US and Europe. Single source supply chains are done for many.

I take the point but its inevitable over time that WFH will lead to outsourcing to cheaper locales as the connection between employer and employee is broken down.

But it did happen, 15 odd years ago and yet here we all still are.

If that were the case, all Dublin based offices would have been replaced with Mumbai offices a long time ago.

Like I said, there's a multitude of reasons it hasn't happened and isn't likely to happen.

Personally, I don't expect a sudden exodus of employees moving out of Dublin/Cork/Galway to WFH home from the 4 corners of Ireland.

I do expect some will relocate, maybe enough to start and move the needle slightly in terms of demand for property in some locations.

Hard disagree. I work in audit and when I see the quality of 'work' being done by outsourced finance teams vs the local finance team, it's pretty clear they are only doing menial tasks that can and will be automated anyway. I would be more worried about the indian losing his work to automation than the irish guy losing his work to the indian guy.

I imagine it is similar in other areas of business.

It's not something anyone but the most cost averse company will do.
Costs go down, but the quality of service goes even further down

You would be surprised. Some Irish multinationals are outsourcing office work in India and are very happy.

How would it stack up against a desk in India ?

I'd imagine about the same as before the pandemic.

I don't buy the remote working means all jobs are going to India theory. There are a multitude of reasons why companies want/need an in-country presence.

If direct India/Irelend desk price comparisons were the main consideration we'd have lost all out white collar work way before the pandemic.

Probably veering a little off-topic for the Property forum though.

Even then, the contribution is €145/month and it's not due to employees that requested to WFH.

Either way it would represent a significant saving compared to the cost of a desk in your average Dublin office.

There would probably be some sort of wage adjustment instead.
Either way, I would imagine most people's commuting costs are more than 145 pm.

Companies could do a very quick U-turn on WFH.

In a legal system that we do not take precedent from and is not in the EU.

Honestly it seems like she's just bad with her money, which she admits herself. She makes 2350 a month net and only has about 1000 a month in expenses when you factor in her receiving 420 in HAP payments. If she's only saving 100 a month she's burning through 300 a week on things she doesn't need. She could easily save a grand a month if she really wanted to.

Thought the same when i read that the other day !

I was probably even worse than her, I was paid a good bit more but my expenses were pretty much the same. Did not realise how bad I was with my money until I decided to save for a deposit, when you tell yourself that you can't ever buy a house its like a mental license to be an idiot with your money.

best option is to move in with partner who already own a house, in case she has one ;-)
or she can rent a smaller room outside dublin for 500 and commute to town by bus, a car is expensive to maintain on top of the monthly loan

Great idea. Move out of the apartment she has lived in for 12 years and is only paying 500 for, to another place where she will have to pay current market rates plus commuting costs. And possibly have to rent two rooms for her and her nephew. If you had bothered to read it, you would see she lives close to city centre so commuting costs are minimal.

Was fun while it lasted! But yeah, they were very much dictating the flow of this thread 1 way or another.

I didn't mind them being here, won't lose any sleep with them gone!
