I just noticed a house in Mullingar, Lot 79 sold for just €30,000

I know prices have dropped substanctially but this sort of drop is kind of scary

around €0.5m each for the 2 houses in Churchtown I had been looking out for, about 15 times the average industrial wage...me thinks that a not very realistic 'floor' has been set in the Irish property market..

Who needs auctions in todays climate?? Just look at the 4 bedroom house above advertised in Ardee!

guide price €150k, probably go for less! No connection at all to seller, public knowledge in area I live in.

LOL - probably a bit biased but I live in Ardee and have done for the past 18 months and I have to say I like it, got all I need - several pubs, Indian/Chinese/Italian/Traditional restaurants, home bakeries, several local shops - I should stop now before I'm accused of being on the Ardee welcoming committee lol - final word, I love living here

Some of the prices are not that scary at all.

House price speculation is still suspended on askaboutmoney.

This sort of post is in technical breach of the guidelines and it would be better if people did not make such posts.

That does not in any way prevent people from commenting on the falls to date.

Of course, the invitation to write a balanced piece is still open.

Isn't saying that this has set a floor on the market a comment on the present rather than on the future?

Any idea when house price speculation might be un-suspended?

And any advice on how one might go about writing a balanced piece on house prices (involving some degree of forward-thinking)?

Seems as if we can't have any discussion on this without discussing house prices, so I am closing the thread.
