We are not from Dublin, no real families ties to here, have had a WFH option for years now. No intention of leaving. We enjoy living in Dublin. Most of my friends are looking to buy somewhere, Covid has accelerated this massively with weddings cancelled. I was expecting the conversation to be all about leaving Dublin, but its become about getting a house in the surburbs/commuter belt rather than an apartment in Ranleagh/Rathmines which was the focus before. I do think these super trendy areas (Ranleagh/Rathmines etc.) will suffer the most, and its where we will see the largest falls. But I see the likes of Dun Laoighre/Bray/North Wicklow becoming even more in demand. Added space and commutable to the city for the days thats needed.

The opportunity it would present me to own my own home would override absolutely any other consideration by far. I love living in Dublin, but the prospect of owning my own space leaves it in the dust very easily and pretty much everyone I know would snap your hand off for that deal. Even if I could get a two day WFH, I would happily buy beyond the commuter belt and do the travelling. Generation Rent can hear the clock ticking on their working life and mortgage term eligibility.

If the prices keep going up by means of a virtual inflation of market monopolization then the average joe will end up living on the streets. Crashes are there to self correct these unregulated growths. Now if you are not seeing property prices going down while literally the whole country is slowly shutting down again, and people having less and less money then it points out to the property market not being in the hands of supply and demand anymore but in the hands of big companies artificially keeping the price high to keep making profits out of it while the average joe struggles to keep the mortgage payments and closes his small business.. To make it simpler. Imagine ten people passing a ball between themselves. Everytime there's a pass the person that gets it gets one euro. Those 10 guys are vulture funds and the ball is the bulk of properties in Dublin, but could be London or SanFran or Lisbon. And that euro signifies the profit each of them makes from selling a property to the other. Time will show if this is true or not.

At the end of the month the Banks will publish Q3 results and we will get the first view on how bad the housing market looks. My bet is that the headline on the banks will be ‘not as bad as expected but uncertainty still a major risk’

Personably I wouldn’t at my stage, kids in school and any family I have left are in Dublin as are all my friends. My wife’s job means she has to be in her pace of work every day.
