Do you live in Qatar?

lukesmom · 11-07-2014 9:19pm

95k in June 2013 no mortgage

Filmer Paradise · 11-07-2014 9:20pm

A trillion Lire & my Starship.

Toots · 11-07-2014 9:23pm

€330k plus another €10k stamp duty on top of that. And it's not a house

PizzamanIRL · 11-07-2014 9:27pm

Some number.

UCDVet · 11-07-2014 9:32pm

3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, single family detached home. Large back and front garden and a two car garage. 150m^2. Built in 1980, in decent enough condition.

Paid 115k EUR

Mortgage cost me 705 EUR per month.
Best of all, it was a 1km commute to work.

Now I pay 1450 EUR per month for a 2 bed 1 bath 100m^2 apartment. Neighbours above, to the left, to the right and behind. No parking. Alarms going off at all hours of the night and kids I don't know standing outside my window.

Commute now is 8km which wouldn't be too bad, except for the traffic and my inability to drive to work.

I'm starting to think Dublin is not the city for me.

rockbeast · 11-07-2014 9:36pm

I'm more concerned about how much other people's house cost me:mad:

spurious · 11-07-2014 9:37pm

IR£17500

moxin · 11-07-2014 9:40pm

Is this a thread about my house is worth more than yours? In that case, mine is worth 10 million quid.

Lotus2014 · 11-07-2014 9:42pm

650K love it.

corner of hells · 11-07-2014 9:46pm

Hmm , first one cost 60k , pre Celtic tiger. Second one 200k , separation and divorce will probably cost me bout 86 million and probably a leg .I also own a share in a family home and also a shack and A piece of swamp/field which is looking very attractive now.Payday is next Friday and Ive 14 euros till then ,

As you can guess the mad hitch has been recently on the phone.

11-07-2014 9:50pm

I don't know, I built it myself and never really totalled up the final cost. The money for construction came from the same account as the general day to day living, so the building costs got mixed in with the groceries.

Tail Docker · 11-07-2014 9:52pm

It hit somewhere north of 3 million during the boom, probably about 1 now. Yeah, I should have sold, but there you go. You gotta live somewhere.

Duvetdays · 11-07-2014 9:57pm

235k a few year ago. This month one across the road from me with not as much done to it sold for €285k.

Now as the good times are coming back I'm off to Bulgaria to buy a two bed apartment on my credit card.

I think you misunderstood the question.

lau1247 · 11-07-2014 9:58pm

how much would a lego house be worth? :pac: (extension included)..

On a serious note, don't own a property yet

tallus · 11-07-2014 10:04pm

Bought it in 1996 for £41,500. Not long left on the olde mortgage now :-)

fatherted1969 · 11-07-2014 10:09pm

24k in 1996

woodoo · 11-07-2014 10:11pm

I built my house and don't know how much i have pumped into it. Its over 200K anyway.

JillyQ · 11-07-2014 10:20pm

I bought in punts before everything went nuts IR£275000

A Greedy Algorithm · 11-07-2014 10:22pm

It is becoming more apparent to me that i will never be able to buy a house, they are just to expensive. I am going to try and get a cabin or mobile home or something, if i can afford it.

Pherekydes · 11-07-2014 11:21pm

IR£71500.

Received a letter from the lender about the end of the mortgage only this morning. (Friday)

Markcheese · 11-07-2014 11:22pm

210,000 euro about 8 years ago . Had to renovate last year so add 40 k , on the plus side I'm on a tracker so the lifetime cost (total over 35 years) is a lot lower than if I tried to buy now with a low purchase price but higher interest rate. :-)
(I keep telling myself that anyway)

naughtysmurf · 11-07-2014 11:39pm

50,000 Punts, 45K mortgage, 3 bed semi, thought we would never pay it back, sold it for 180,500 euro after 8 years, bought a 4 bed semi for 222,500, owe about 70k, on a tracker, about 7 or 8 years left on it.

Could be a lot worse

Charlie19 · 11-07-2014 11:39pm

Four Goats, 2 KG of Turmeric and a Albino Lama.

Teyla Emmagan · 11-07-2014 11:43pm

300k. Having looked into when the euro came in, it was not in punts after all.

Guess what - mortgage free in 15 years!!

Good way to look at it. If you bought somewhere where you're happy to love in for the forseable future, what does it matter on the value if you're paying less per month than someone who paid less than you to buy, but more in mortgage payments due to the higher interest rate.

Ruu · 11-07-2014 11:51pm

The sacrifice of four naked virgins.

akura · 11-07-2014 11:51pm

The auld pair bought it 27 years ago for £16k Punts.

Ihatecuddles · 12-07-2014 12:14am

I think it was 213,000.

Already thinking of buying next door and having a mansion

Doubtful. I distinctly remember buying it.

Dredd_J · 12-07-2014 1:13am

Sold house in Ireland a number of years ago so currently houseless.
Apartment in London cost £80k back in the day.

Was only talking to the lads in work about negative equity today.
4 out of 4 of them were till in negative equity two years ago. And they all thought the were fcuked forever.
Going on recent sales in their areas only 1 of them is still in negative equity, but not by much.
Funny how fast things change. Things are looking up for them.

Eh, you live in the arse end of Kildare.
Your entire village is probably worth less than 1 million.

anto9 · 12-07-2014 2:33am

Current one in Chiang Mai ,the equivalent of 33,000 Euros .Last one in Waterford Ireland 190,000 euros .One before that in Wexford 185,000 euros .One before that in Dublin ,zero as i inherited it.

osarusan · 12-07-2014 4:34am

11,000,000yen, for an apartment.

Galwayguy35 · 12-07-2014 5:26am

€180,000 to build it, but I've spent the guts of another 15 k between furnishing it and doing the lawns, stone walls etc that I didn't really think about at the time of building.

29 years left on the mortgage

But at least it's a tracker

Zane97 · 12-07-2014 6:17am

€160000 march 2012. €660 a month ... No tracker for me... 35 year mortgage . 4.3%

stoutykid · 12-07-2014 6:44am

275,000....:( worth €130,000 now if we were lucky. And to rub salt in the wound we both live 50km from work so 100K round trip each day. We bought height of 2007.

boobar · 12-07-2014 7:11am

270k but on the positive we have a tracker and it's a decent house that we plan to stay in.

Wabbit Ears · 12-07-2014 7:39am

185k for my current house plus 90k for an apartment abroad. Will all be paid off in 10 years.
