I agree.Oh and avoid Athy at all costs! ;-)
Now, I have a crow to pluck with kwhome! What's wrong with WA? It's the best state in Oz and known as the State of Excitement!!! Where are you from? Probably from the Back of Burke- Don't say Tas or QLD! It's ok I'll forgive you. Joking ha ha!
Mosman (Sydney). Am happily back in Ireland for the last 2 years. Although it is useful having the passport with the funny animals on the cover.
Was just thinking given the current climate and you will be , presumably, a cash buyer you could be in a very strong position. I wouldnt write Naas , or close by, off totally especially any new builds. Would be worth testing the waters.
A big plus even though the Aus dollar isnt great is that you are returning to a depressed market which may balance out any currency conversion losses. Seen some large reductions especially on new builds recently.
Genius here returned at the top of the bubble
Don't undertestimate the discounts you might negotiate on the advertised prices you see in Naas.

Bear in mind we are in the midst of a property price slide here in Ireland. In most cases you will pay less than the asking price - how much less varies depending on each individual property.
I would strongly advise you to rent somewhere for a year or so near your family when you come back and then take your time buying, and check out the areas? Financial experts here are predicting that house prices will continue to fall this year and next year so there is no hurry. By the time you get here the house you really want may have fallen into your price range, and by actually being here you will have more 'local' knowledge of the property market.
Hello AussieIrish,
I to am an Irish Aussie (Aussie PR to citizenship). I see you are in WA. Then Portloaise wont be a shock to you
Seriously though, I think there is better value for you in the market then you think. If you have family in Naas would you not look at just outside Athy or Castledermot or even Allenwood? Some lovely places in Allenwood and seems quite affordable. Also I honestly do believe there are some lovely little places available in and around a 10 mile radius of Naas for decent prices (and near to various small villages/towns). Especially as you are looking at a small property and not a 5 bedboard 20 bathroom home these areas might suit you better. I resume when you say 10 -15 minutes from a town you mean by car? If so then really you should find something in the environs of Naas.
would agree, i personally wouldnt be mad on portlaoise esp if your family etc is in naas
