    We're in the familyway, hence our name! And we wish to buy - except we don't know how much to offer above/below in % terms for Dublin southside properties currently in the 250k-335k price bracket ?

    Any ideas ?

    <---- ----> this much. It's impossible to say. Firstly look around the area what are other similar houses being advertised for, benchmark against those. Check how long they house has been on the market, the longer it's been up the better chance you have or negotiating, if it's only just been put up it could be harder to negotiate on. If you really want the house and are will to pay asking, go in under the asking price by say 10-15% and negotiate with the owner.

    But picking a figure out of the air and saying X is pointless. Care to provide a link to the house?


    Work out what you can afford, if you're growing a family you may be able to afford a lot less than you think.

    The question is impossible to answer, because some sellers set a realistic asking price (that is, not far away from what might be achieved for the property) while others set optimistic prices that are a long way above market levels.

    Agree that it's impossible to say, however it appears that Dublin southside is the first pocket showing signs of recovery.

    It looks that way to me, too. Particularly the 3- or 4-bedroom semis in settled areas.
