Didn’t know The Glen was part of St Luke’s.
St Lukes is class so dont blame them. You see that all over the place. You rarely see a Mahon property. All blackrock apparently.
Looks a bit grim. They usually do a better job of photographs for those apartments.
The bedrooms look like prison cells. Tiny windows and no sunlight.
I think it looks quite nice but 425k for a 2 bed apartment is bonkers!
Yes. It's probably one of the inner apartments without a view. It wouldn't be one of the better ones.
Anyone have any experiences with Auctioneera to sell a house (or buy)?
Was recently quoted 1.75% by a well known international agency in Cork (a discount from 2% because they really want to see my house!)
If I get the the high end of my target sale price, that could end up being between 7.5k in a market with short supply (5 and 6k excl vat with another 850 for marketing excl vat (photos, marketing via daft, myhome, examiner article)
The house is well maintained and near the Lough so it won't be a particularly hard sell... I realise that a bad agent can be dose but if the house is right the bids will push it through... My main concern is how well vetted the bidders are in terms of funds with auctioneera but paying an extra 5k doesn't make sense either... Am I missing something? appreciate any feedback...
Nice area! My girlfriend absolutely loves it so she will more then likely show me your house
On Auctioneera, the feedback I read on boards are mixed. Some buyers thinks that it drives the price up because everyone can see the bids. However, you might be right on the buyer vetting because I saw some sellers say sales fell through because the buyers couldn’t get the mortgage.
Good luck with the sale and If you have a nice size garden, I might see your house.
I’m buying and selling at moment and based on viewings of houses with them, I wouldn’t use them. They packed in people in viewings so I was viewing the house with 6 other couples at the same time.
Everyone is pretty rushed to move along. I wasn’t able to get a proper sense of the place and didn’t place a bid on any houses I viewed with them. Pretty much once your sale agreed I’ve heard they are out of the picture because for what they charge, they need to spend as little time as possible on a house
I rather pay extra and have an auctioneer sell the property to get the max amount and also be involved as a buffer to ensure it goes smoothly I.e. have an auctioneer who will follow up with purchasers and solicitors to move things along.
Thanks for that info...coming around to going with EA alright...what fees did your EA charge if you don't mind sharing?
Sister lived in one of them and it was far nicer than that. That price is absolutely insane.
You think you'd atleast dress the bed for the photos its so lazy.
Anybody any idea what's wrong with below? Went sale agreed a few times and now a price drop

Got them down to 1.5% of sale price plus €800 for advertising.
I confirm, I have lost touch on the property market. The house is now on PPR. It went for €955k.
I see that Clifton has been sold in 3 separate transactions, for almost 3.5m in March ppr. It will be interesting to see what sort of planning application goes in for the site. I'd guess that they might look to develop the house as apartments and build houses on the grounds.
Anyone have a clue why the new build Chapel Court in Skibareen is taking so long to finish and sale?

Castle Heights price up by a whopping 41%. Must have been the steepest increase in Ireland? Although its a show house and all, but a 3 bed for 475k is crazy IMO as my friend bought the same house for 365k (excluding HTB) last year and is still waiting for it to be delivered with multiple delays.

4 bed in same estate a week ago reduced asking from 495k to 485k.
The other gets the HTB but based on this I dont see it making asking
My thoughts exactly but new build will continue to sell with HTB and shared equity fueling it and if they do slow there will be another scheme brought in.
we looked at it and yeah it’s nice but a better house went there a few weeks ago end of terrace attic converted with 3 gardens for 475(440 asking) so asking 495 for vastly less house seems mental…. But with supply as it is people will pay it.
Got an email yesterday that a new phase at Elmbury Carrigtwohill will be launched some time in next week. It will be interesting to see the prices along with delivery time lines.
6 months minimum for delivery, 365k for the 3 bed semi on the last phase but its 125sqm so quite big so remains the best value new build so close to the city imo. Be surprised if its under 385k for the upcoming phase.
Still decent value close to the city. All gone anyway. I was hoping to buy in this phase but something else come up.
Really struggling to get my head around how the seller and the estate agent can keep a straight face with this one. Just a 70%+ markup on the purchase price mid 2018. Don't get me wrong its a fine big house and well looked after but this is Kerry Pike not Malibu. There's something seriously broken with the property market right now.
Definitely. There's no sense to that.
I thought this was a typo - €1,550,000 for a big but somewhat dated house near CUH. Ok it's on half an acre, possible site etc. but seriously, €1.5 million?!
Another Bishopstown house that needs work but in my opinion is better value is this
It feels like more sub 300k properties coming on the market
the 1st house is rough enough. The pipework feeding the rads looks like a complete afterthought, being piped outside the skirting boards. Nice and accessible if you ever need to fix a leak but that's about it! 76m2 is tiny for 300k.
The 2nd house (cherry gardens) was actually nice for the price in particular.
It doesn't make the story much better, but the PPR excludes VAT so closer to 50% - and additionally it has had more work than PC sum would have covered (flooring, kitchen etc.. So we may not be far off that when property price inflation since 2018 is factored in.
Another one up @695 now

I thought PPR includes VAT while stamp duty excludes it. My friends bought a house for 440k & 345K (New build with HTB) incl VAT and full money is reflecting on PPR website.
The super low fixed rates dealing starting to roll off now and the full impact of the ECB hikes starting to hit home. I suspect we will see a pile more of the €400k+ part of the market coming under pressure in the coming months.
