    Before I get a string of people reporting this- we do allow personal advertisements in this forum- just not commercial advertisements, by commercial entities.

    I wouldn't live near the train station. My sister in law's car and a few other cars were vandalised there last week.

    That area covers a few estates. If you mean they were vandalised in the train station carpark, from what I've seen, it depends where they parked.

    Most properties in Ireland is still 30% - 40% overpriced. I would not even think of bidding on anything anywhere in this country for at least 18 months.

    One exception is the house posted above - which looks like spam.....that is more than 50% overpriced in my view.

    Erm...

    > Yields
    > Long term historical trend
    > Comparable pricing per sq. foot for similar properties in other countries
    > Qualitative comparison of individual properties with other countries
    > Lending multiples applied to average borrowers dictating how much they can borrow
    > Disposable income levels and the mortgage sizes this implies

    Apply any or all of the above criteria to just about any property on the market and you get a figure of their being overpriced 30% - 40%, more in the case of apartments.

    But thanks for your smart-arse tone nonetheless.
