    Hi despite all the reports saying that property prices are down by 30-50% the prices listed in estate agents dont seem to reflect this.
    I am looking at buying ahouse in south Dublin. How much below the asking ask price should I offer.
    If asking price is €450k does anyone know how much a house of this price is actually selling for?
    Thanks

    Current asking prices are grossly overstated.

    30-50% is peak prices, how much would the €450k house have sold for in 2006.

    Have heard from several different sources including an estate agent that 20% below the asking price is generally an acceptable offer in this buyer's market.

    If this is always happening i'd say its because the EA know you believe him or her. There is no other offer, just offer what you think its worth, if its rejected move onto the next house.

    What will it rent for? It's a good guideline as to a price TBH.
