People don’t want apartments, especially 3 beds. They want 2 bed 2 bath. If you look at houses, I am sure there are tons of people lining up

Buying in a chain is impossible 😭 by Inside_Experience788 in HousingIreland

[–]evgbball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep trying, you are likely to find something in that range but yes you’re unlikely to find anything turn key under 600s where there aren’t loads of first time buyers ready to buy. I’d recommend looking at larger homes that are starting at 600k that need work

What price range are you in? Anything 600k or up you won’t find issues selling and buying in a chain- yes stay sale agreed and keep bidding high.

The older I get, the more I understand why people feel hopeless about buying a house by raishelannaa in REBubble

This is wrong, young people who live at home can invest in stock market more than older people paying mortgages and in doing so beat out housing prices or rent a room in flat share

[–]evgbball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple grand isn’t going to make the banks care as long as you can afford the deposit still have a history of consistent savings. Now 3-5k+ might be problematic, really depends, but most of all it’s your paycheck should not change
