    I was wondering whats the average price you can expect to pay these days for a room in a shared House?
    Also is there much competition for each place, as in will I find that almost all rooms are either amen the minute they are advertised or that 1o people are fighting for the same room?

    I don't think you could put a figure on it without further information. You can't compare the rent for a room in an owner occupier house in Lucan or Lusk to a room in a city centre flat or a house in Ballsbridge. There are too many variables at play here.

    Somewhere within an easy enough commute to the city. Say within the m50.

    Then you're looking at 450/500 up to 800/900 a month.
    I saw an ad yesterday for a house share in Adamstown. ..€700 a month to share that is outside the m50 but because of the 12 minute train ride to heuston it's becoming popular.

    Take a look at what's being advertised in Daft and you will get a feel for what different places are going for. You might pay the same for an ensuite double room in one place as you would for a single box room in another. I believe that a lot of people are looking at the moment in Dublin so its pretty competitive and places are taken very soon once they have been advertised.

    So is having the deposit in your hand the only way to do it then?
