Irish property market news and insights – for the industry, by the industry  

 

Before we get stuck into the general property news of the week, below are the local and international stories that might be of particular interest: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Does apartment living stack up? Dublin’s planners are approving thousands of new apartments in the capital. But are first time buyers prepared to embrace high-density living, and more importantly, can they afford the prices developers are set to charge? https://www.businesspost.ie/houses/does-apartment-living-stack-up-715f741f

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you missed last week’s round-up, you can catch up here: https://propertydistrict.ie/category/sunday-property-review/ 

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)
