Available rentals have doubled

I have noticed this too, that there is less desperation from people to just rent any old room. There are lots of adds in good areas at an acceptable price who don't seem to find tenants. Just my observation without any fancy graphs.

If true, wonderful news.

Another poster said there are 1000 properties available in Dublin. If accurate, thats less than 1% of the population of Dublin. Miniscule indeed.

I’m following some of these. The quantity is tiny vs. Daft. Also some are obvious scams.

Also prices are up a lot. Double rooms in D2, there’s only 2 options below 1000pcm, some places are insane 1500+ to share

demand sub 1000 is still huge

Isn't it not the case that it is number of ads and not number of properties available? Looks like many ads for the developments owned by funds have multiple properties under the one ad so likely a bit more available. Still not enough at more affordable levels but plenty availability if you're willing to get rinsed

I had a brazillian cleaner who told me she shared her apartment with 7 other people. You don't see those ads on Daft either. Or at least I havn't.

That’s what I noticed too.

bedrooms in clondalkin 900, D2 has no double room under 1000 anymore etc

Yes. I think many of the slum kings are operating under the radar. I know a Romanian lady who lives in a house in Terenure, and one of the "studio apartments" in the house is home to five people. I doubt that that's all registered and official.

Only 300? That's a steal.

I'm going to say something unpopular here, but this is the very human cost of having your house cleaned for 15 euro an hour, your pizza delivered from a take-away down the road or whatever other "menial" job the modern man or woman doesn't want to do for themselves. The state and those who can afford to indulge in the dopamine hit can harp about diversity all day, but this is all it's ever been about: cheap labour, high rents and more GDP growth.

Happy to have it because the alternative is the street.

Posted this a while ago, there's a general upward trend in private rentals (third group of bars from the left) from 2011 to 2022 (current year not available but trend is probably still upwards).

"I don't want to sound anti immigrant but most of the interest was from foreigners. I would say 80% were foreign."

Don't apologise for pointing out (one of) the elephants in the room.

Would it not be very human cost of having a lax immigration policy?

Anyone (non EU) that wants to can come here to "study English" and do these jobs.

In other countries like Canada and Australia people need qualifications to come in and this makes their countries better places.

They get all the engineers and doctors and we end up with the workshy and pizza delivery guys.

The Indian people are buying houses though and are educated and working legally here.

The ones in garages are mostly studying proper courses also.

My post was about the Brazilians that were living with 8 people in 2 bedroom flats referenced above and cleaning houses and delivering take aways.

Yes and no - if an average rental is advertised for 6 weeks, then this equates to 8000 lettings per annum. Average letting has three people living in it, this equates to 24'000 people moving into a new let each year.

Don't try and drag another thread to your pet subject. You are noticed by moderators when you try to do this.

yes, and many already have a college degree (from their country)

The housing crisis is at a turning point.

Read these two reports.

https://ww1.daft.ie/report/ronan-lyons-2023q3-daftrentalprice?d_rd=1&d_rd=1&fr=touch

Over 18,000 residential units have been under construction in Dublin since Q4 2021.

Over 80% are apartments which take approximately 2 years to complete.

I know these are still too expensive, but at least it's progress.

Interesting enough rent in Switzerland is cheaper than Ireland yet wages are so much higher.

Have... have you been to the Netherlands or Germany?

I've not been to the others recently enough to say with confidence but they weren't dissimilar either when I was.

All those services exist there *because people use them*

I am not seeing any price reduction in rent prices in South Dublin/DLR. The exact opposire in fact, despite more properties coming onstream.

Yes, there are more apartments being delivered. And plenty in the pipeline.

The govts tactic of renting new developments for 100% social housing isnt helping as it props up prices for everyone on average salaries and above, effectivley removing those new properties from the market.

Private Renter on average salary: Oh great, 50 new apartments in Donnybrook built by private developer. I might be able to rent one and its close to work

DCC: Nope. All the luxury apartments near the city centre and work hubs have gone to social housing. But the investment fund still owns them, we are just renting them for 20 yrs.

So you might get your chance to rent them in 20 yrs.
