That's a hefty drop.

Prices for these ex-corpo houses in Drumcondra are falling also - they used to be very popular with the buy-to-let brigade.

Old Price €550,000


New Price €500,000

Not surprised. Drumcondra has 80 properties for sale on myhome. Thats alot of stock and is why vendors are starting to reduce prices (stressed vendors) to try to put themselves on a buyers radar.
 
Here's another significant drop. I've always really liked Daneswell road in Glasnevin, lovely houses - great area.

Number 7 Danesfort road came to the market at €875,000, listing 009 - second from the bottom on this list:


and it was also listed in an Irish Times article here (2nd house):

Now it's reduced to €825,000:

Know that street as i passed it recently. Made a mental note on the streetname as i liked the houses.

But even at 825 its still over-valued. Well more to the point.....people are not making the gains as before so that premium (house value is about 600) of 225K no longer is available.

Its become a reality that the longer you wait to buy the more money you will save. Better than any SSIA scheme.
 
Hi,

New to this site. Good arguments. The examples of falling prices are v interesting.
Is there any website or blog which collates all examples of falling house prices? It would be great to see a list of these.


btw. If you have not guessed, i'm one of those people praying for a crash and before some of you say it, yes I am bitter that I did not get in early, but regardless of motivation the simple fact is that the prices of houses now are effin rediculous

This is it. Do some research on your area, google some individual houses and find from cache previous asking price.

Like a commune. Everyone chips in. :)

How did you come by this site ?
 
Hi Phoenix,

Stumbled onto it when googling for examples of falling prices. The property has me driven mad...it's like a mad hobby now - reading articles etc
 
We need a site or blog which only lists examples of falling prices and no comments. If there isn't one then I'll start a thread

Good idea, it can be difficult to find instances of price drops in this thread so a separate thread would be good. Don't think the Austin Hughes' and Ger Gilroys of this world will be happy with that

Sounds like a really good idea. As it will createa singular plcation for tracking the downward fall in prices (if it continues/accelerates). I especially agree with the no comment point. Is there a way to stop comments on it?
 
Maybe create a thread titled "Property Dead Pool". People can put up posts from myhome.ie of houses for sale that they think will have a price drop.

Here is my bet, down to a 1 million before the end of the month, current asking price of 1.2 million

just wondered about the comparisons with other countries etc
whats the pric of an average house in the US compared with the average wage. Compare both with here and convert into one currency. I would do it but am on dial up and the stupid connection keeps going plus its only 18.9kps!!

Don't start a thread - best to keep property market debate on this thread.

Agreed IMO better to keep the price drops here as they sustain this thread and provide evidence of what is being discussed. real examples are important to this debate.

Has anyone done an decent analysis of what will happen to tax receipts if say housing output drops to 50,000 and transactions fall to normal level. On a brief analysis of recent dept of finance figures it looked like either corp tax rate would have to go up to 18% plus or that income tax at top rate will have to go by 5%. This is before factoring in higher dole costs. It could be too scary an analysis.

This IMO could drive prices lower in year 2 / 3 of a downturn as taxes rise and govt is forced to cut costs and implement hiring freezes.

Ok, not too many replies to my suggestion. Perhaps ye are all offline. Anyhoo, this is a really strong and stable thread so maybe keeping the price drop details here would be best.
To that end, I propose that when posting examples of price drops that the user copies the current list adds their example - the idea being that we will have one large list of examples and can check on old examples, etc.

After a quick search of the thread I found the examples below. I have not checked all links.


Current List of House Price Drops

As bearishbull said, the ECB's main concern is inflation, not growth. But I don't think she should be criticising the interest rate rise because the ECB should be free from political interference. The ECB don't try to tell the Government how to raise taxes.

She goes on to criticise speculators but if they are leveraged they are going to have to pay the extra interest, the same as a first time buyer.
