Do the rents around Dublin go down after the end of the college year?

    Just wondering if I should wait till the end of this normal college year to look for a room to rent. Is there a noticeable difference in the rent after the students move back home?

    From my experience, the price doesnt go down much but you will have a much better choice if you start looking early before the colleges get back in september

    precisely this, as i was on the market around July august last year, and the availability was starting to wain at that stage. Id reccomend being able to move mid july the latest to get the most of the available selection.

    Doubt it'd move much.

    Serious shortage of good quality accommodation in the Capital due to it being pretty much the centre of any prospective employment in this country.

    Took me about 6 weeks in Sept/Oct 2011 to try find something reasonable and decent quality. I've kept an eye on Daft since and tbh there's **** all out there for less than €500 a month.

    There will be more availability but the prices probably won't budge. The LC results come out in mid-August, and the CAO offers a week later. You would definitely want to have somewhere before then.

    No because because you have to sign a 12 month lease to get a lower rent. Some landlord charge lower for June, July and august and increase for september.

    But this years this is a half of brazil in Dublin. So it's a case starting looking ASAP as a lot of landlord advertise in about a month or two for September
