With my limited knowledge I think the prices are not coming down substantially till the rents comes down.

Whoever is paying €2000 for a 2 bed in rent will always want to buy if they can afford and get a mortgage.

What would you expect to be asked for that in Mount Merrion?

Houses will be ....snapped up. I love the use of language.

That means they should ALL be marked as sale agreed tomorrow. If not...

Maybe not snapped up but if you are no 1-10 in the que you choice is to buy or not to buy. If you decide to play hard ball and there is another 20-30 in the que are you willing to risk losing out.

Maybe maybe not. But say only 15 of the houses go sale agreed tomorrow, a buyer still has a choice to throw up the sale. However again like above would a buyer be willing to walk away know that maybe 15 have gone to contract.

Snapped up is relative to you need for a house or renting for another 3-5 years

There is not many new build estates in Carlow. They cost 237k - 330k. They all qualify for “Help The Brickie”. The most expensive house will only require €3k for the deposit, the cheaper ones will be fully covered by Help The Brickie (assuming they’ve paid enough tax). I think they’ll all be gone tomorrow or shortly after.

In the Irish Independent three weeks ago: “ Builders propose €85k loan boost for first-time buyers”

Link to article here: https://m.independent.ie/business/personal-finance/property-mortgages/builders-propose-85k-loan-boost-for-first-time-buyers-39506685.html

Basically It appears they want the taxpayer to pay for the majority of the build cost for the house and they walk away with the profit.

Imagine the mental gymnastics it took for the industry to devise a scheme to keep on propping up unsustainable house prices

It seems pretty likely we are about to see a big downturn in prices.
I can see investor class jumping off property....but who knows.

It a tough one to call as interest rates are so low and markets are super risky. If things get particularly bad you will probably see cash move to deposits and the post office and a wait and see game.

Again this will depend on the banks status the Uslter bank stuff will do nothing for confidence.

Back in the day parents would buy a rental for kids to go to uni to save on the rent but that's not viable now either.

I still expect the gov to do some kind of property investment incentive come the budget.

Can't come soon enough. The insanity and quite frankly depraved greed of thinking upward only price changes fueled by never ending government subsidies is anyway normal or sustainable needs to die , hard, fast and forever.

Let whoever gets their fingers burnt, burn.

The only depraved greed I’ve seen in this thread is the recession cheerleaders to be honest, how anyone could a) be happy about this and b) assume they will be unaffected and able to buy the house they want is beyond me.

a) they want to buy a cheaper house
b) they are cash rich or in secure employment

Seems fairly straightforward to me

I put a booking deposit down on a house this week. Looking forward to being told how much of an idiot I am

Buy away and good luck:) It's your money and if its what you want go for it.

Honestly the way I look at it, if the bank is willing to lend to you now, take the opportunity and borrow it. Mortgage will most likely save you a good chunk of money rather than renting in the current market.

If **** hits the fan as some suggest here, people really need cash to buy as the bank won’t be very generous and even in that case you still need a house to live in

Further to D. Your post sounded like an accusation of cribbing and moaning from the sidelines.

Says the mealy mouthed property owner. Give over will ya. Like you everyone else hopes their own personal circumstances improve and for some that means inflated house prices falling.

Depraved greed? Jaysus....any lad who does not want house prices to go up is guilty not of greed but depraved greed.

Fair warning, you need to improve the standard of your posts dramatically.

Another post not relating to the property market gets you a threadban.

Anyone have any stats on just how much residential property is held by big investors?

I really think this is a big factor in discussing future prices.

How many investors may move elsewhere, leaving particularly Dublin drastically effected.
