I know some places over the southside are doing great price wise but its decent news for myself as a lot of these places are dropping back to half decent value so by the time i buy could grab a good deal. Worth adding pre-pandemic there was rarely drops >3-5% in the same areas.

PropQueries wrote: » Not a professional investor and can only go by Cairn Homes share price, but i'll give it my best shot. I would assume investors who bought into Cairn Homes at the IPO price of €1.00 in 2015 did their analysis at that time and regarded €1.00 as fair value with some potential for upside. Given that they were back at their IPO price in December 2018, two and half years later, would indicate that investors either overvalued Cairn Homes at the IPO stage or their view on the future of the Irish residential market deteriorated significantly in those two years and they then saw little value in the Irish residential market going forward. Wouldn't a bet on Cairn Homes be a bet on the residential market in Ireland? If the estate agents are right about all the pent-up demand at the moment, wouldn't investors see this as a great buying opportunity for Cairn Homes? Unless the estate agents are not telling us the truth... Maybe I'm wrong.

The market expects very bad news, presumably a heavy level of defaults. Just look at AIB performance ytd. Horrible. Defaults will probably impact banks ability to lend money. It is not good guys. Any potential buyer should have graphs of these companies share prices printed off and displayed on their fridges for easy viewing every morning.

Pelezico wrote: » Everybody on this board including the two active mods has a vested interest in the market. Let's not be under any illusion about that. What price do you want to pick out for AIB or Bank of ireland which fell 5% today? Tte economy is in dreadful shape and people should exercise caution when making the biggest financial decision of their lives.

Pelezico wrote: » Then make your own decision. By the way, the credit risks and derating of Irish banks has been big news in the last year. Investors have been creamed. Cairn and Glenveagh are poor performers. It all adds up to very poor news in the not too distant future.

The investors couldn’t bet against our currency as we were in the Euro, so they bet against the stocks that best represented the Irish economy by proxy i.e. the banks. In todays world, it’s the banks and the local home builders. And yes, I have my very amateur investor hat on.

The BOI share price, and Irish bank shares in general, are a terrible barometer for the state of the economy.

We went in 10% under, and we were outbid. Went back and forth twice and we eventually offered asking. Had we have taken the advice above, we would have lost it in the hope of catching out an EA? Not a risk I was willing to take for a few k.

Congrats on buying your current idea of a dream house. Fingers crossed in a few years your not stuck there permanently drowning in a hopeless pool of negative equity.
