Even all the google and facebook employees in dub cant fill all the houses...and sustain this rental market.
And anyhow if you beileve im wrong and stupid, then why argue the point with me..what would that make you..arguing with a stupid man?

I'm trying to educate you but I think you're a lost cause...

Not only do you clearly not understand the current property market, you also don't seem to understand a little humour

If all the rental properties were empty, wouldn't the price be going down?

The opposite is happening. People are climbing over eachother to find rental properties. Hand in your notice on your current month place, and try to find another one comparable. Talk to me then about the massive oversupply, empty domestic units and false market.

Ireland is full of one off landlords, and landlords with less than 5 properties. It's not a cartel.

All the Google and Facebook employees (and Dell, Microsoft, Salesforce etc. etc.) aren't renting.

In South Dublin.......(wait for it).....

Hence the rising prices.....

the landlords aint the cartel..its the letting agents the landlords are employing to rent their properties that are acting as a cartel. "Hand in your notice on your current month place, and try to find another one comparable" yeah i think maybe it would be best if I did that the other way around...
Anyhow back in 2007 all over this country there was supposedly an overdemand for houses..remember..all those estates thrown up everywhere, for all the millions of people coming to live in rural Ireland where there is bugger all but turf. And you couldnt negotiate even on those houses, they aganets wouldnt budge 5%...and im the stupid one am I. the same places have gone to rack and ruin over the last 5 years over the head of all the highly intelligent folks here.
Dublin is just a microcosm of ireland as a whole. yes there are a few big Internet companies here...not a whole hell of a lot else though.

Nah, we'll be drinking Pinot Grigio and trying to decide how we can best take over the South Dublin property market.

don't tell anyone though, it's supposed to be a secret.

And the best thing is.....we're going to let estate agents take all the blame

In fairness he's not wrong about everything - South County Dublin property prices are high.

For a reason. It's a nice place to live and there's not many decent houses for sale or rent there. Same as Mayfair.

IMHO this has been the best thread on this forum since the "...what makes a good tenant..." debacle a while back!

So your comparing south Dub to Mayfair..is that the one in London or the top shelf magazine because you'd be about as far off on both counts... Did I say the irish had unrealistic expectations already. Oh yeah this is where the million euro one bed apartments were selling in the boom.

I wouldn't bother if I were you, most companies in the tech business want people that can analyse available data and come to a correct conclusion.

Yes analysing data, such an important contribution to the world economy...well done you. No I was thinking more of a schoolyard bully type of position where I could go around the office throwing spitballs at geeks all day.

Well...yes...it's how business works, rather than going around making decisions based on completely unfounded and somewhat moronic assumptions.

You'd be well suited for that if it wasn't for your somewhat (no doubt unintended) comedic talents.

well....it's been fun but some of us have a World of Warcraft tournament in the morning.

Ater that I have to meet with the 'Keep the Southside rents high and property prices rising' committee so I want to be sharp.

Off to bed I go.

Yes old chap, you would think so wouldnt you fwa fwa fwa. Ive seen plenty of smack heads up in the southside though...hardly kensington and Chlsea is it...Like I said the Dub's are away with the fairys when it comes to how desirable the place actually is and ive lived all over the world, so I know what a desirable spot looks like..and this is bog standard suburbia..at best..but in most other countries the drug addicts keep to their own back yards and dont wander around all over the place..or is it because there is well established council estates all over the south side and not just the north side..I live over the road from one, and would gladly live there but for the 10 year waiting list, but the place does have its heroin addicts, the pub near hear has a needle bin..not the mark of a property hot spot, funny enough...this is your desirable hot spot is it? dont make me laugh. Its on the bus route and thats all it has going for it.

The OPs personal touch might need a bit of improvement but it was interesting to hear a different perspective to the norm.

If the topic was

America defaulting in the next few months

Landlords not being allowed to make any profits in an auturety led economic period etc

then yep was on topic
