Would like to know how many pay 10% above asking to actually real other interested buyers and how many are just made up estate agent fuckery.
Viewed a house. Was 375k. bidding is now at 450k. 2 bedroom house
Saw a house on the market for 430. Lovely bones but needed an awful lot of work done on it. Like, needed the guts of 100/150k put into it. It went for 487k.
The government has loaded the dice against buyers.
This market is looking increasingly irrational
This is mainly cause asking prices mean nothing anymore and many estate agents purposely put asking prices way below what they know the house is worth
It’s not intense competition, it’s normal competition, but with a fraction of the homes to compete for.
10% would have been nice, our house went for 25% over asking
Fairly meaningless, a lot of asking prices are set below market to generate interest
The system used (live online bid system) for most homes certainly is in the seller’s favor and almost always results in bid wars.
Ours went about 8% over asking.
However, it was listed around 10% under the price of other houses in the estate.
At the time of drawdown (just pre-ECB interest rate hikes) I felt the whole market was going to dip on rates going up but we bit the bullet.
Glad we did and ignored my amateur level economic analysis. It’s just getting tougher and tougher.
The “asking price” is not the true asking price in a lot of cases. When we were trying to buy a house last year in Maynooth, we offered the asking price. We waiting for a response from one of the selling agents in Maynooth with none of our calls or emails being answered.
Finally after 2 weeks we got incontact and were told that the offer wasn’t accepted because the offer wasn’t high enough. They said the asking price was usually set for 7-9% lower than the real price.
Very frustrating and shitty tactics by the estate agencies.
Although I’m already screwed, I paid 355k for a 4 bed A rated home.
The fact there’s no bidding allowed on new builds really saved our bacon.
The next phase already has the same house as 395k
