Which item are you referring to? There's multiple items on that page.

StayDown

I'd say their referring to all of them.

Orion

Probably the two bed for 845k :rolleyes:

Rented Mule

If someone wants it and has the money, he's dead serious.

There is a sucker born every minute.

Yes- God does love a trier:

Well in fairness there are some reasons for the high price:
1) Mature development, high quality of finish and maintenance, etc
2) Large size (it's double most 2 bed apartments)
3) Apartments in this complex don't often come onto the market

So supply and demand would suggest a higher price could be achieved. I say the asking price is still probably below what was being asked previously.

I thought for a while that it could be a typo, that perhaps they meant €485,000 instead of €845,000.

stunning property. but at the end of the day who would pay the guts of a million euro for a 2bed apartment in ireland?
I guess people with more money than sense but I don't think there's many people like that these days

seamus

Yep, to be fair it's a stunning property. Not the ramshackle shoe box of the Celtic Tiger era. €850k is still having a laugh though. You could get an equally stunning 4 or 5-bed house overlooking the sea elsewhere for that kind of money.

Supercell

Premium flats like this will sell around €250K when the dust is settled, thats what they cost in most other similar sized cities.
If this one sells for >€500K i'll eat my hat.

You pay an annual fee for that, and its over the odds IMO

Service charge approximately €3,250 per annum – Wyse Property Management

Eglinton

€3,250 p.a. managment fees! Wow.

Vastly overpriced for an apartment alright. Although I will agree with their statement that Cosgrave built developments are more in demand. Much much higher quality over the last 15 years than all other developers. I lived in one elsewhere in Dublin for a few years. They've built some of the few livable apartments in Ireland with a more realistic size than the regular matchboxes.
