Who sez I'm shocked. I just told him how they normally price and ask and if absolutely nobody rings him back after he punts in his -20% bids then he knows whyCulchie said:You wouldn't be so shocked if the property received 20% above it's 'true market would you?
Ah that was uncalled for. Ballina is a beautiful spot with lots to offer. Westport is nothing in comparison.2Pack said:Who sez I'm shocked. I just told him how they normally price and ask and if absolutely nobody rings him back after he punts in his -20% bids then he knows why

terrible traffic........hen night heaven.....and very expensive
if you can live rurally in mayo you have a great quality of life
ballina has a lot to offer and is undergoing a huge commercial rejuvenation
huge hinterland (half of co. sligo and out to belmullet and pontoon/foxford and tubbercurry)
would not buy to let there but for commercial ventures has a lot of potential
Yep. If they were straight away discussing -10% as if it was the right price all along then the Culchie was right and I was wrong . Its a buyers market.Sunnyboy said:If the offer was accepted that quick I think you may have offered too much and there was no competition.
No disrespect but in the short to medium-term, there simply is no future in Ballina. The town lies in a depressed and peripheral region with an ageing population and a massive 'brain drain' to places like Galway. True, it's town boundaries are big and it does contain a sizeable hinterland in terms of acreage, the population isn't there. I'll warrant there's maybe 500-600 in Foxford/Pontoon and maybe 1,000 in Belmullet. Don't think I'm a begrudger, I have very happy memories of the place but unless the town actually gets some substantial investment (multinational) then there really isn't a hope for any commercial ventures.markowitzman said:westport is not all it is cracked up to be.....
