This post reviews the latest Daft Report, which outlines trends in house prices around Ireland over the course of 2010. In particular, it discusses the end of a single national property market and how the focus should now turn to the different regional markets around Ireland. Some of these, particularly in the cities, look quite close to the adjustment “finishing line”, while others may perhaps be only half way through their adjustment.
This post reviews the latest Daft Report, on the rental market in Q1 2010, released this morning. Overall, it finds that rents have been stabilising, particularly in the city areas. The market remains fragile, though, with the total number of properties available to rent outside the main cities well above the number of monthly transactions. The post finishes by looking at what’s happened the dishwasher premium over the course of the recession.

Recently, I’ve been peddling the idea that between 2004 and 2007, we were building twice as many homes [...]
An updated heat-map of changes Ireland’s property prices, to reflect the latest Daft Report (2008 Q4).
Daft has been getting lots of exposure in the Irish Times recently, as the batch of year-end reports and prognoses for 2009 flood in. In particular, the Irish Times has begun whetting the appetite for the 2008 Year in Review Daft Rental Report. Their recent article, ‘A renter’s market‘, reviews current trends in the rental [...]
How did Roscommon’s property market fare in 2008, compared to Limerick’s? Why? For some thoughts on the above, and on South County Dublin, Cork City and Kilkenny, as a representative smattering of the regional tidbits in the latest Daft Report, you can catch a five minute or so interview on January 15′s Ireland AM on [...]
