i was joking, his/her stock answer for any 'excess' is that the state is going to buy it up and make the whole thing a social housing scheme

I know but Cyrus in your joke there could be a short term solution (for a year or two) while corona is in town for those who need to be housed

Well it might not be the worst idea in the world but what some forget is that students will be back maybe not this or next year but they will be back , same goes with tourist.

Can you explain what this means? Help to buy only applies to properties under 500k, which I doubt the "rich" have any interest in buying for their first home.

Already very comfortable/ not really in need of a subsidy so if not rich. The point is still very valid. It is not helping anyone get "on the ladder" that wouldn't otherwise be capable of doing so anyway.

I'm sure they may have some extra proposals that will be issued piecemeal over the next few months. But for the moment, it looks like we may be back to the fundamentals for the next 12 months:

1. What are all those landlords who used to rent to students in Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork going to do with their properties?

2. What are all those property owners who used to rent on AirBnB in Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork going to do with their properties?

3. What are all the dedicated student accommodation providers (especially in Dublin) going to do with their properties?

4. How is WFH going to impact on the demand/supply dynamics of the property market over the next 12 months i.e. City vs. Rural? That issue is only really getting started.

On your first 3 points this has been situation since late Feb of this year and prices have not dropped. As for WFH why is it an issue with regard to house prices regardless of working from home or not the person still needs to live somewhere so while Dublin might have a decrease in demand (and it is very in demand at the moment) other areas will have a rise in demand.

So what we do know is that the government will not be taxing people more who are working and are keeping up the payments to those affected by corona and also throwing money at infrastructure and public services. You would actually think we were in a very stable period with our ecconomy with huge growth figures in the near to medium future. So now add in the left leaning orgs who will not tolerate anyone being kicked out of the family home the only excess properties that may come on board on top of what is being built may be the Air Bnb and student accommodation your talking about. Oh and nearly forgot supply side is down again this month on property available for sale. This budget will keep prices stable for the next 6 to 12 months.

I totally agree, dispicable scum!

I hope the youngish FG voters have copped onto what bull**** and lies Varadkar came out with! FIFTY percent marginal rate of tax, scandalous housing costs for you, free for the wasters that would never vote for him!

where do you think the marginal rate of tax goes under the terrorists?

calfmuscle

I'm a first time buyer trying to buy solo, the market it flying up around here. Iv rang asking about 3 houses priced 215 to 245 all went by 15k to 40k over the asking price. Its a nightmare and unless there is a crash I'll never get a home.

While 500k is at the high end of a first time buyers budget, it's not in "rich" people territory. First time buyers are much older than they used to be. People in their 30s will have had a good few years to save a substantial deposit. It's also pretty much at the bottom end of the South Dublin market.

Aside from that, a combined income of 128.5k would be a solidly middle class household. In terms of percentile that is a pretty high household income granted, but its not rich.

As I said it all depends what you call rich
A millionaire is a rich person to me ,to a billionaire he is not
If you are on 30k and your partner is on the same then 128k a year combined is rich mans money

Well the fact that the government are spending a shed load of money to try and keep things the way they were before corona instead of what happened in the 08 crash where they cut the hell out of everything would be an indicator that property prices will not be dropping any time soon.

All depends what you consider rich
To buy a 500k house you would need a deposit of 50k and a mortgage of 450 k(assuming min deposit )
To get a 450 k mortgage you would need a combined income of 128.5 k
That to a lot of people is rich mans money

2 houses i have been watching, both up on MyHome.ie 1 year and 25% more than other similar properties in the area.

Both went sale agreed this week, seems the market is very stable folks.

Ok, did anyone spot anything in the budget that may impact on the property market in either direction? HTB was already well flagged. Seems to me, nothing much has changed from the situation that existed last week.

No, not really.
Situation remains the same, demand outstrips supply, at least in the short term.

And you have experience of how multinational companies worth 85 b with an annual income of 28 b do their tax accounts
I admit I do not but I know we never register a profit as a manufacturing company

Yes i do.

Normally there's small items that aren't noticed but do make an impact. But, from a quick look, nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Well the fact that the government are spending a shed load of money to try and keep things the way they were before corona instead of what happened in the 08 crash where they cut the hell out of everything would be an indicator that property prices will not be dropping any time soon.
