    Obsolescence wouldn’t be much of a factor for new builds or new probate sales.

    Between new builds and probate sales over the next twelve months there’s enough new housing supply entering the market to accommodate at least 90,000 persons (average of one couple and one child per unit) based on c. 20,000 new builds and c. 10,000 potential probate sales.

    In relation to the “growing population”:

    Total increase in population 2011 – 2016 was 173,613 as per Census 2016:

    0 - 34 Years: -72,493 (yes, minus)
    35 - 64 Years: +143,932
    65 - 85+ Years: +102,174

    You know what to factor and what not, but obsolescence is as well a factor, and many other things that you don't like to factor. A year will pass and you won't see those supplies flooding the market.

    I'm not sure why would you exclude people over 35 year. It's quite common to buy property over 35, and even 45 wouldn't be unusual.
    Apart from this older house owner are saving more money during Covid as well, which may help their kids financially to find their new homes.

    Ireland has unusual demographic with high number of population in the age of 35-45. They was 25-34 some years ago, but it doesn't mean that they fall-out of the property market.

    Here you go a little update for you so you can stop copying and pasting as its out of date

    so in 2019 the population can be broken down roughly as follows below have a look at the stats yourself

    about 1 million 0-14
    About 600k 15-24
    about 1.4 Million 25-44 (quite possibly the demographic most like to buy)
    about 1.2 Million 45 to 64 (quite possibly the 2nd most likely to buy)
    about 700K over 65

    Please dont copy and paste this again

    and before you go saying but yours in from the CSO this was also got from data from the CSO

    But by September 2021 we will also have an additional c. 20,000 new build homes, thousands of additional probate sales and probably a very small increase in (if any) net inward migration.

    Thousands of extra probate sales? From what? If you think its covid, its a drop in the ocean compared to all other daily deaths ...

    Not relating the increase to Covid. There have been delays with probate sales over the past several years and this backlog should start entering supply over the next twelve months:

    “Some 30,000 people pass away every year in Ireland with up to 86% of them owning a home. This potentially leaves some 26,000 homes affected by these delays in probate.”

    Or Less than 15k if we apply your rule of a couple & child per housing unit.

    I actually knocked the figure back by two thirds to c. 10,000 potential probate sales or enough homes to accommodate c. 30,000 persons at an average of one couple and one child. Basically enough new supply (before any new builds are built) to house the total population of an additional new large town in Ireland each year.

    And most of these properties would be located in what many would consider prime locations.

    Here is a breakdown of the funds in Ireland I was correct when I said mainly Debt and Equity

    That’s not related the so-called vulture funds. The line “The Net Asset Value (NAV) of Irish-resident investment funds (IFs) increased by €266 billion, or 12 per cent, to €2,423 billion in Q2 2020” is the giveaway.

    Yes some of these funds business model is to buy debt at a discount and max the return. The NAV is the net asset values of what the funds own Globally and they are only described as Irish resident because the legal entity is registered here.

    https://www.irishtimes.com/business/commercial-property/oaktree-joins-forces-with-johnny-ronan-on-irish-glass-bottle-site-1.4386155

    Ronan uber alles.
    Johnny Ronan’s Ronan Group Real Estate (RGRE) has secured US private equity group Oaktree as a joint venture partner for the development of the former Irish Glass Bottle (IGB) site in Dublin.

    News of RGRE’s addition of the Los Angeles-headquartered investment giant as a partner on the scheme comes just weeks after The Irish Times reported how underbidders for the project had contacted Nama to express their continued interest in the site following the expiration of the 30-day time period the agency had set for the deal’s completion.

    The bid was well in excess of the €125 million guide price Nama had been guiding when it began marketing the opportunity in July 2019. It is also understood to have outstripped the offers made by the other shortlisted parties by a significant margin.

    The other shortlisted bidders were: Sean Mulryan’s Ballymore Group; Dallas-based private equity giant Lone Star’s Quintain Ireland housebuilding unit; and US real estate investment firm Hines.

    The former IGB site lands are held through a company called Pembroke Ventures. Some 10 per cent or 350 of the 3,500 homes planned for the site are to be set aside for social housing, while at least 15 per cent (525) are expected to be affordable housing. The site also has scope for up to one million sq ft of office and retail accommodation, along with a school and public space.

    This will be a fantastic development once they start turning the sod. It's very promising to see such interest from big name investors in the housing market. It will give us lots of new developments so buyers won't have to take the probate places which need the old lady smell fumigated just because there is so little supply.

    Do people foresee a crash in the rental market and it perhaps cascading onto house prices?

    I know a handful of people who have managed to negotiate 10-20% reductions off their rent when it came to renewing the lease, all reductions were none covid related (couples still working, not impacted).

    Personally most younger workers in my org from down the country have all stopped renting in Dublin or left their house share and returned home, that and the lack of students/tourists will surely drive rents down a lot? Maybe i am wrong but if i was a landlord i would sell now and if i was an investor a buy to let would be one of the last items on my list to invest in.

    In Dublin, the rental market has plummeted in the 7 months since just before lockdown for the 1 and 2 bed apartments, with no sign of a floor as of yet considering the 6 week lockdown at least we now have and the eviction ban until the New Year. Supply up hugely as well.

    Is he not just stating the obvious I reckon they will be able to keep this up for a good 2 or 3 years and hopefully a vaccine will be in play by then. Already Pfizer are on the last stage of trials with their vaccine

    Institutional investors bought over 1,000 homes in Dublin in Q3 2020.

    "The continued strength of Dublin’s private rented sector (PRS) market was evidenced once again in the three-month period to the end of September with 1,016 homes sold for a total of €470 million to institutional investors.

    The largest transaction in the first nine months of this year across all categories of investment saw the Cosgrave Property Group secure about €200 million from the sale of 368 apartments at Cualanor in Dún Laoghaire to Deutsche Bank subsidiary, DWS. Contracts were also signed on the € 145 million off-market sale to DWS of 317 residential units spread over four developments in north Dublin."

    Looks like the Government has come up with a new way to keep rents high for young workers in Ireland. They plan to replace 'reception centres' for up to 3,500 asylum seekers a year with a scheme similar to HAP where they will rent homes from private landlords. For 'private landlords', just change to 'their investor property owning mates' :)

    To the younger workers. I genuinely feel sorry for you. You can't/won't win.

    "Local councils would use private rental accommodation to house asylum seekers, in a similar way to how homeless people are housed in private rental tenancies through HAP."

    Aw come on :) You know the purpose behind this 'recommendation'. I'm actually quite impressed. They have the younger workers by the proverbial this time. They have come up with a scheme to keep rents high indefinitely and where they can't complain or they will be labeled you know what. :)

    I'll take the flac. I'll 100% admit it was worded wrongly. I'm just extremely suspect of any Government proposal that may add demand to a market that apparently has supply issues. Especially when there are many other possible solutions that wouldn't impact as much on the supply/demand dynamics of the market.

    This proposal has the potential to significantly impact the demand side of the equation with no obvious benefits to either the state, the asylum seeker or the younger worker seeking rental accommodation in our cities.

    If a younger worker is thinking of buying, they must compete with both the state and the investment/pension funds for housing. If they're renting they must compete with the state under the long-term lease initiative, HAP etc. and now another version of HAP may be thrown into the mix. Many workers must accept HAP not because they don't work hard but simply because they have no choice because of the government's policy (and it does now appear to be policy) of driving rents ever higher through these schemes.

    In fact, I truly believe that this proposal has the very real potential to invite resentment towards this group (not justified on any level) as has already been seen in many villages up and down the country. But, time will tell as they say.

    But I'll fully admit I could have worded it differently. So apologies and no offence meant.

    I bet that's the same house I was looking at, in Cabra? I think the issue there is that the EA significantly underpriced it to begin with, if you look at what similar properties have sold for there recently. Whether this was through incompetence or by design, who knows.

    Gotta feel for the poor fella (in number 18) that lost 260k in a year (not realised yes) or could have got the house 260k cheaper. 15/16/17/18 identical and with Glenveagh’s price drops, 15 & 17 sold for 260k less:

    https://propertypriceregisterireland.com/?action=search&county=6&property_type=0&date_from=2010-01-01&date_to=2020-10-21&price_from=0&price_to=0&address=Proby+place

    And before anyone asks, this website includes the VAT on new builds!

    https://glenveagh.ie/download/proby-place-brochure/?wpdmdl=449&ind=1529594520885

    Anyway, with poor/slow sales can’t see anything but decent drops to come in the high end of the Dublin market.

    However, anything under 500k qualifying for help the Brickie should rise.

    Yep. Hard to understand why it was priced at 265. To get some interest in it?

    ugly looking houses for that kind of money! An interesting comparison would be 2nd hand homes in that price bracket in the area. Surely you could get a much nicer home in Blackrock at the €1.2M range.
    Also, 3 story would be a no no for me. I lived in a house share once and it was a pain in the hoop up and down all the stairs!

    Yep. Hard to understand why it was priced at 265. To get some interest in it?

    I was wondering that too, I really don't know. Because they just wasted your time and mine- don't know about you but I certainly can't afford €310k. Before I viewed it I looked at what other houses very near there had sold for on the property register, and they were all €290k+, for houses that weren't even as nice as that one, and smaller.

    It's really annoying actually. Maybe they want to be able to say "this house sold for €40k more than asking", even though the asking price was not reflective of reality? Or to encourage a bidding war?

    In fairness there is zero chance of inflation in the short term (1-2years).


    I think those sitting on a decent amount of cash (200k mark) will be in a good position to purchase in the next 18months.

    lol, whoever it is, they are making sense, some people on here and people in general will be in for a serious reality check when the economy tanks and the stock market no longer gives decent returns as it is due for a massive correction.

    Everything has been due for a massive correction for years now to be honest. I'd hedge my bets that in six months we'll be in the same state of static movement we've been in the past year.

    This 'massive correction' you keep referring too sure is taking it's time for something so massive.

    Interest rates will be zero on deposits for years to come and I also think stock markets will crash as logic is gone out the window with valuations but don’t see house prices going through the floor and think we will see inflation in the economy but it will be on food and transport.

    The timing is the important thing. If you want to short the market then you can do so, but if you get the timing wrong, you'll lose your shirt.



    That said, saying that a crash is coming is also a meaningless prediction without giving a timeframe...........I can say that a crash is coming and I will be almost surely correct within my lifetime that there will be some form of a crash.


    Is there a bubble in the market - likely yes. When will it burst? It might not do so for a relatively long time. It will depend on the supply of money into it. Central banks might keep pumping in liquidity if they can't reach their target inflation. People with money will want to put it somewhere if rates are low (or zero). Japan has had a problem of deflation and negative rates at the short end for a long time now.
