    Is it me, or do the house prices in that estate over the past number of years actually average out at price stability/stagnation or modest increase at best? They fluctuate so massively (albeit due to economic factors and reasons specific to each house) that surely they average out to something reasonably unremarkable?

    I think the WWTP (aka The Sewage Treatment Plant) going online co-incided with the bottom of the Dublin housing market which exagerated the bottom a bit. By my reckoning and allowing for variations between houses, Bayview fell 60-65% from peak. Did many other areas in Dublin experience 60%+ drops?

    Size wise looks good, but it's only a three bed with a small garden that costs in excess of half a million euro. I'd expect at least a 4 bed. It's also not in killiney. Don't know why they say it is in the ad description

    Its actually Ballybrack. But if you live their you pick either Cabinteely or Killiney for your address - never Ballybrack :)

    Reasonable price is whatever the highest bidder is willing to pay for it. No more, no less, despite what many like to think.

    Ballybrack has a bit of a bad name. Especially when you put the name beside Killiney or Cabinteely.

    It doesn't matter what name you put on it. If it's in Ballybrack you will know soon enough you are in Ballybrack.

    Tis the break alright but that end of it (just off the top of Churchview Road, where Seapoint RFC and Cabinteely United play) doesn't seem too bad at all.

    Seems like a nice quiet road to be fair. Perhaps 100k over valued. 510k in actual Killiney you could justify

    ehh size wise it is not great for that type of money and there is absolutely no likely expansion like with older houses.
    This looks like a house built in someone's garden.

    Look closely at some of the pics.
    I think most of the photos look unnatural meaning they are taken or doctored to give impression of space when it isn't there.

    For istance look at the dining table.
    There are six chairs, but none of them can be pushed in because the table is really only a 4 person table.

    Look at the playroom, it doesn't look bad with children's furniture, but stuff in a bed and hey presto room filled.
    Likewise with room with cot.
    Shove in a bed and it is a pretty small room.

    140 sqm in Dublin would be considered good

    Actually it was October 2013.
    So what are your views on the South Dublin property market in this first quarter 2015? Any differences between what I initially posted in Oct 2013?

    I think things have stalled a little in South Dublin, a house a couple of doors down sold for just under 500k at Christmas, which is 50k more than what we paid for ours in 2009(ours needed a huge amount of work), so the prices I'd say are at around 2009 prices, another has gone up for sale across the road in the last few weeks in a much better condition, its on sale for 595, it will be interesting to see how much it goes for.

    Also, re-reading the previous comments above, Granville Road is most definitely not in Ballybrack!
