      Mental

      I hate the use of “bedrooms” to define the size of a place, let’s talk square meters, this the correct way to measure an area and it’s also easy to track the price with the €/m² figure.

      I bet it’s tiny as well. Anyone know the square metre size?

      “Beautifully designed” homes for the guts of half a million quid and the door opens from the street into your living area.

      My favorite feature though is the cool door next to the TV which leads under the stairs. I assume the door is to a toilet. I love the idea of my family watching TV while I shit right behind the wall they are staring at.

      Help to buy has done nothing but allow developers to slap an extra 30k on asking prices.

      These homes aren’t worth 500k, the pricing is just jacked up to squeeze every penny from someone using the Help to Buy scheme.

      “The purchase value of the property must be €500,000 or less to qualify for HTB.”

      The government is yet again incentivising the developers to rinse the public.

    8. Here’s the [Daft listing](https://www.daft.ie/new-home-for-sale/terraced-house-2-bedroom-grattan-park-grattan-park-shackleton-road-celbridge-co-kildare/6058599). The place looks…fine, for a cheap new build; not so much for nearly half a million. It’s not even near any amenities; it’s a greenfield site on the edge of town a couple km from the centre, with nothing but a sea of housing estates in between. The only reason for the price is the proximity to Dublin.

      Seeing things like this makes me hope for another recession. The country needs to take a step back and come to its senses.

      My mam and dad bought their first home, a wee bungalow in Celbridge in the early 90s and it cost them £30k. I despair at the thought of what that house is worth now.

      You were always better off playing the system in Ireland, have a kid , get the missus to go down the welfare office and you might get a house. Not really viable anymore as the waiting lists are so long but hang on for ten years and you might. My mother on laws neice spent half a million on a house and a family of scruffs got a social house behind her and her head is wrecked with them drinking , fighting and having huge parties out the back the minute the sunshines in the sky.

      A 4 bed, ~130m^2 build cost us 326k in 2022, about 40km from Dublin.

      Celbridge is half that distance away from Dublin, but like- you pay over 100k more for around 65% of the area. 

      Ridiculous.

      Scandalous prices for what you are getting, a small terraced gaff. I mean, they look like nice small homes, but a realistic price even in todays inflated economy would be around 300k. Sadly, desperate people will fork out form them.

      “Affordable housing” starting from 350k in a small rural town of a few thousand people. 22 years ago, my dad bought his house for under 120k, think it was 118k, but not 100%. The world has gone fucking mad.

      Average prices now, when demand outstrips supply you get high prices. The issue now is that’s set the market price so upwards is the only way forward
