  1. Must be the [gucci bag in the toilet.](https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-greenhall-lodge-greenhall-tinahely-co-wicklow/3798339?utm_source=TheJournal&utm_medium=Property+Magazine&utm_campaign=Property+Magazine+2022&utm_id=May+2022)

    Devils advocate:They spent money renovating.

    Well it doesn’t look like they spent much, [here’s the listing from 2020](https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/greenhall-lodge-tinahely-wicklow/4428915), where it already looked great. They just painted some things. One closet wall was taken down in a bedroom to make space.

    Apparently the roof was new, but the photos don’t seem to show any improvement there. The ad says triple glazed windows and new insulation was put in, yet it still has the same BER rating of D2.Furniture won’t be included in a sale.

    525k was an okay deal I think, but at most this should be 650K today.

  2. Bit cramped upstairs with the sloping roof. Nice garden though.

    Dunno why we insist on having a dining room that gets used when the pope visits.

  3. I bought a house in 2019. 3 years later and similar houses in the estate are selling for up to €170k more than what i paid. Bananas.

  4. I was always saying that people are just being fussy on where they want to live until my neighbour sold the house for 50% higher than what I paid two years ago for mine.

    Same house and 50% increased value over this time is insane.

  5. For what it is, it seems like good value back in 2020 and also strange that it is being sold so soon after.

    It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that there were title issues that impacted the price. Someone may have taken a view on that, got them sorted and is selling it on perhaps?

  6. There are many properties where it’s hard to decide if it’s overpriced for the area and for what it is. That’s not one of them. You’d get a nice property in Dublin for that money which is ironic because I’m sure the agent is saying it’s an easy commute to Dublin (not in rush hour!). I saw one recently that was mentioned as an hour to “SOUTH” Dublin … It was besides Wexford town, a good 1.5 hours to South Dublin and 2.5hrs to Dublin City centre in rush hour.🙄

  7. We’re renting a gaff that sold for 80,000 in 2014. Similar properties are now for sale around 160,000 and above.

    Meanwhile the average wage has gone up only by a couple grand. We are completely screwed

  8. Genuinely think 90% of the population will be living in tents in 50 years

    One single pringle will cost a fiver and a pint will cost 20

  9. That ivy (Japanese knotweed) costs alot to remove they are just trying to regain costs. The bubble is coming close to bursting maybe 2023 or will we have to wait till the 20th anniversary of the last one in 2027.
