Nuts, even if you were financially savvy and were saving for a deposit by investing in global indices, housing prices would still have outgrown your after tax rate of return. Very dire indeed.

All the multiple property owners and landlords in The Dáil must be clapping themselves on the back about this every month.

They have built almost 6,000 houses this year
They promised us 45,000
we need 70,000 to keep up with yearly demand
another 300,000 to get us out of the crises.
This is not going to be solved for the next 20 years.

Market’s in a weird place at the moment. Anecdotally, lots of properties €750k+ are just not shifting at all at the moment (far too expensive obviously).
While at the same time you also see properties going for ~€1m and then two weeks later the scaffolding is up and they’re being gutted and having another €500k spent on them.
Feels like there’s one core group of buyers with insane amounts of money available to them, and another group who can’t go much higher than €600k. And there are very few buyers in between these two extremes.

At this point, lads, seriously, you either occupy the GPO or emigrate if you want to buy a house. The government couldn’t give a fiddle.
It’s great for vulture funds, great for pension funds, and great for their voter base who are not ever voting them out.
They couldn’t give a feck lads, and have shown this time and time again, year after year, they are never getting voted out, not over the health system, not over not going after the church for abuse, not for causing the recession, not building a metro, insane spend on children’s hospital etc etc.
It will be rising eternally.
Again, the biggest middle finger if you voted them in.

This is fantastic 👏 My five bedroom house in Clontarf with 120ft back garden was bought for a fucking song in 2013 (€345,000) And today? It’s easily worth over €1.1 MILLION! It’s absolutely brilliant. I cannot wait to see what its worth at Christmas. It just soars and soars in value as l sit at home on my hole,all the jealous cunts renting at work are so miserable. I always tell them exactly how much its worth as much as possible and tell them “You should have bought in 2013 like l did” they fuckin hate it. 😆😆😆😆 Fuck em.

We can talk about targets and whatever else all we want.
RTE did a piece on Portlaois earlier this week where some new residents couldn’t move in due to lack of services.
Of the 8 in the photo, 5 were Indian, so maximum of 3 Irish assuming all three white were even Irish.
If we don’t address that issue, this problem will never end.
It’s absolutely sickening as someone trying to save, and our Government just keep ploughing ahead dishing out visas and PPS numbers like everything is ok.
My parents said I should study hard in school or I would end up in a council house. I would love to live in a council house….

We need to talk about immigration in a measured way. Reclaim the conversation from the far-right. The state has issued over 2m PPS numbers since 2015 according to the CSO, with over 1.3m issues to non-European citizens.
That scale of inward migration into a small country is unsustainable and actually quite reckless. We don’t give people coming a fighting chance, since often they struggle to find suitable accommodation, and we don’t give services a fighting chance to meet demand.
At the same time, we have teaching shortages. Connect the dots. Young Irish people are leaving, while the rentier class is getting propped up by absurdly high levels of immigration. And I say this as someone who strongly welcomes immigrants of all backgrounds.

Currently bidding on a house that I see as my forever home. I’m a sole mortgage applicant as my girlfriend is not from Ireland. I’ve been looking for close to a year now and this house feels like my last opportunity. The property is on the market just one week and I’m currently the highest bidder.

I’m not surprised seeing how foreign nationals are able to buy up properties at premium pricing.
