    It should either be an auction or take asking price, this closed shop backroom bidding with no verification is just too much open to abuse.

    An auction is no different. Often an auction ends not meeting reserve and it ends going to negotiation afterwards

    Hate these programmes :mad: Ok, admittedly the property market has remained still since the crash but this sort of programme only serves to fuel panic among buyers. The estate agents who have been swinging around on their office chairs for months are only too delighted to jump on and add to the media panic. Calm down people, more houses will come on the market and hopefully things will even out

    Yup RTE being very irresponsible

    Very little coverage of families picking up bargain family homes in any of the more rural areas.

    It's funny because in the last few months I've heard of a fair few folk/families buying houses and moving back to Killarney

    Some of the stuff these people are saying is clean mental.

    They are getting far too emotional about bricks and mortar, and this is what got us into the problems back in 07

    Exactly what I was thinking. €495k to €504k is a strange bidding "war" considering the demand for property in South Dublin.

    Edit, wait the €504k was for Botanic Avenue house?

    This is absolute madness.

    Dublin has the potential to turn into a leading global city with sustainable development but the planning authorities in this country are stuck in the dark ages. Instead, what we have in Ireland is constant up and down and all the emotion and madness that goes with it. Absolutely maddening.

    Was reading something about all the skyscrapers being built in London. Some people were giving out that the skyline was being negatively impacted (where have we heard that before?). People also pointed out that people were giving out about the same thing eons ago when St. Pauls cathedral came to dominate the London skyline.

    A tax on unused property is a good idea though. I can think of a large number of sites and houses around Dublin and its suburbs that lie empty for various reasons. Even a system like the UK where property is reclaimed by the council after a number of years of no use.

    Had to laugh when I heard Dublin being compared to London, Paris and Madrid. Scary to see all this **** happening all over again.

    Owen Reilly nailed it though, herd mentality.

    +1. No talk either of decentralisation. It was the promised government policy of mass decentralisation which led to developers and builders providing properties in areas where jobs were promised would come. Not only did the government renege on that, it brought new jobs to Dublin. Double whammy. No wonder you can get a better house for 100k in Boyle than for 500k in Dublin. Two tier system.
    You cannot operate an economy like that.

    Lack of local power is a major issue for Dublin. The city expanded outwards far more than was needed, it's time to make it denser rather than continually going out and out.

    Ohhh I dunno Lisha!! I know a doctor and she is back living with her folks because she couldn't afford the repayments on her mortgage so is renting her gaff out! She did buy in the boom and paid an extortionate amount for her house , but at the way house prices are going she might be able to offload it soon.

    At this rate I think your kids need to be computer whizz kids like the Collison brothers and set up a computer company/or develop an app that will make them millions.:eek:
