    Thanks for this Marius, would be keen to get some engagement going on this to keep it near the top of the Accom/Property Boards- both for the benefit of Relevant stats on the current market, but also to gauge people's views in the Poll above.

    Today CSO published Residential Property Price Index March 2020, this can be seen as the last Pre-Covid transaction report.
    Overly property price stable, with minor increase on Year-to-Year basis.
    "Residential property prices increased by 1% nationally in the year to March. "
    "In Dublin, residential property prices increased by 0.6% in the year to March"

    I had a look at KBC report published today.
    It’s the first Financial institution, that I have seen, which provides forecast for Irish Property price, during the Covid crisis.
    https://www.kbc.com/content/dam/kbccom/doc/investor-relations/Results/1Q2020/1Q2020-company-presentation.pdf

    Here is their forecast for the Base scenario for Ireland:
    Metric | 2020 | 2021 | 2022
    GDP | -5.0% | +4.0% | +3.5%
    Unemployment | 14.0% | 9.0% | 6.0%
    House Price | -12.0% | +8.0% | +5.0%


    I understand in current uncertainty it’s very difficult to forecast, but their numbers looks a bit premature to me, if that’s the right term. Property price typically is not as volatile, in other words does not fluctuate that fast. It definitely can happen, in unexpected events, but it’s weird to see it in their base case forecast scenario for 2020 vs 2021.
    As well 2020 GDP for Ireland, base forecast is more optimistic than any other reports I've seen, with -5%, whereas for Euro Area their base scenario -11.3%. I can’t grasp how they are getting such massive differences.

    I think slide says situation as of March 31st? Just above tables starting side 21

    Correct, but it was released today to the press, as well as on their website:
    https://www.kbc.com/en/investor-relations/presentations/presentations-2020.html

    I guess "situation at March 31,2020", it means based on 2020 Q1 data.

    The difference in the different impacts relative to the other countries are quite odd as well.

    The base case prediction for 2020 GDP Ireland vs Belgium is -5% vs -9.5%; at first glance that looks kind of encouraging.

    But they say they this expect to occur alongside 14% unemployment and a 12% drop in house prices in Ireland, vs 6.2% and houses down 3% in Belgium.

    And then in 2021 they expect Belgiums GDP to bounce back strongly at 12.3% vs us at 4%.

    And that meanwhile Belgian house prices will continue to fall by 2% and that ours will bounce back strongly by 8%.

    SO over the three years to 2022 they are predicting that Belgium will have a net gain in GDP with a net fall in house prices and we are the opposite - our economy will be in recession but our house prices will have risen.

    Are KBC telling us they think our house prices are fundamentally undervalued? Seems to be the logical conclusion from just looking at their numbers.

    Another report with House Price prediction, this one from ESRI.
    https://www.esri.ie/system/files/publications/WP661_0.pdf

    Unfortunately they don't have base case scenario, but rather 2 scenarios: "V-shaped" & "Sluggish", which I believe would be equivalent of Optimistic & Pessimist scenarios.
    In "V-shaped" scenario they see no change in price for 2021 Q4 vs 2020 Q1
    In "Sluggish" scenario they see 12% decrease for 2021 Q4 vs 2020 Q1.

    This is the base case scenario for their predictions:

    Unemployment|10.0%|9.0%|7.1%

    Thought there would be more interest in this thread.

    The market is stalled at the moment for a variety of reasons. So its in a bubble. So the data comparisons are really only reflecting that pause on economic activity.
    It will be while before a useful trend appears. Once the existing pent up demand, and existing supply have been depleted, then we'll start to see to more clearly.
    Some of these predictions, especially if they were based on pre covid estimates are largely irrelevant now.

    The predictions by KBC, ESRI was create during the full lockdown in May. AIB in July.
    I haven't seen any other predictions so far for Irish property on Covid times.

    This has to be based on last year, what happened the last crash and the unpredictable repercussions of the pandemic. Which are still reverberating around the world. So largely unknown.

    That said I can't see it being worse than the previous crashes or as quick. I can't see it being v shaped or bouncing back either. I don't believe Chinas reports. So some middle ground in all that.

    Which is why comparing all the figures as you have done puts this in context. I think another part of the puzzle is comparing it with the crash.

    What do you think.

    Right, it's very difficult to predict in current situation, but those are not predictions based on the past, but a forward looking conditions. Like for example AIB expect unemployment for next year (or end of 2021) to be at 9%, so the prediction is based on this condition and not past.
    I believe they have a hard time currently to make any predictions, as there is little covid data, and things like lockdown does not fall in any of their models.
