I dunno, the bidding process is shite but I’d say it’s the lack of supply that’s causing the lack of supply
Clear as mud
We have to stop this shite of pricing low the entice a bidding war
Put up what you expect to sell it for,
And before anyone says why would an estate agent artificially push up bids when they get such a low increase in fees?
Because they can tell the next neighbour they got €XX k above the market price and get the next house in the area via that agent
It’s not the margin, it’s the next job
Also, any estate agents been punished for phantom bids?
Yeah a supply an issue too, legal immigration with money to buy a factor too
The process of buying a house in Ireland is a complete disaster. It took me 6 months of bidding on different houses (always around the asking) to sale agreed and then 2 more months to own my house. And apparently 2 months is fast! Mind you, that was way before the housing crisis.
I don’t get how bidders are allowed to wait weeks in between bids. A friend of mine visited from Canada, she had her house on sale there. She came here on Thursday, the house went sale agreed on Tuesday. Her realtor did showings, collected offers, gave the interested parties a deadline and negotiated a few conditions there. Smooth, simple, effective.
I think the system here should be really improved. You shouldn’t be allowed to bid without proof of funds (approval in principle), there should be a deadline to bids and each house should come with a portfolio containing answers to most typical questions that solicitors ask and answer.
Notably, now it’s not the process that drags but the fact there are very few houses and they reach ridiculous prices. Now we need a well designed program that would deal with housing supply, not only building new stock, although that’s crucial, but would also protect first time buyers from competing over cheaper stock with councils, vulture funds, cash buyers looking for buy-to-let properties (we’re in crisis, some emergency measures need to be implemented) and housing associations.
