It is crazy how bad the market has gotten. Even since last year it has gotten much worse. Like I was at a viewing and there were 100 people viewing first come first serve for 30 houses and they all sold. The next one I went to it was 50 people for 30 houses and they all sold so quickly. Like I was in the room 4th and all 3 before me bought instantly. It’s basically get them asap for any new houses when people are viewing but even at that the prices are insanely out of reach at this point.
the economy is on borrowed time now, a fucken pandemic and more than likely a fucken world war and were still tippin away like we are sprinting through the jungle on the celtic tiger chasing tir na nóg
I know it’s fucked lads, but you have to remember that the housing crisis can’t be solved overnight!
/s
So with each month the goal posts change, I dunno how to catch up at this stage I can’t save as fast the price changes. It’s making me lose hope at the prospect of owning a home and it’s making me pretty depressed…
How do the government think this is an acceptable policy.
It boggles the mind.
Are there any projections on how the housing stock is predicted to grow? Like is there any light at the end of the tunnel
Edit: if anyone else wants to know, I found a report by AIB called the ‘Irish Housing Market, are we there yet?’ which was published just before covid and it does seem that there is light at the tunnel in terms of supply, we were building only 5000-7000 houses per year between 2011 and 2015. The government are currently targeting around 35000-40000 houses per year I’m the coming years.
We keep on saving and are almost what we wanted for a deposit, but the way the prices are going we will be looking at possibly 50k + over the asking price so we need more for a deposit… Right now we are seriously looking at emigrating to another European country, where you get bang for your buck in relation to tax paid, proper public transport etc etc…. Next step ask the boss if working remote form another European country is possible… Fuck this place and this government, same shit different day for the last 50 fucking years…
Not seeing the surge a few %. My neighbours house in Australia just sold for nearly double it was bought for 3 years ago, now that’s a surge.
