The issue that is on everyone’s mind at the moment in Ireland is our Housing Crisis. As Real Estate Agents in business since 2006, we have been facing this set of circumstances every single day since this situation has begun. In this time, we have gotten to know the ins and outs of how to navigate this Market, despite it’s lack of supply. These days trying to find a house feels a bit like chasing leprechauns, doesn’t it? As soon as you think you get a glimpse of one, it’s gone. But not to worry, we have put together a short guide with some practical solutions on how to make your journey as smooth as it can be.
So you’ve got your eyes set on the trendy spots, but have you considered the hidden gems? Expand your search and discover the charm in lesser-known areas.
A solid bit of advice – get to know your local estate agents. They’re like the storytellers of the property world, and they might just spill the beans on your dream home before it hits the market.
Never underestimate the power of Networking – attend local gatherings and meet fellow house hunters over a pint. You never know who’s got the inside scoop on a cozy cottage or a modern gaff that’s about to hit the market.
Have your finances in order, and that mortgage pre-approval letter ready. Being well-prepared is like having a golden ticket to the best homes on the market.
Set up personalised alerts on property websites, this is like having your own informer delivering news about your dream home straight to your door.
Finding the perfect home is like waiting for a good whiskey to age. Stay patient, keep smiling, and don’t settle for a property that doesn’t give you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
Navigating this lack of supply in the Irish Housing Market is not easy (as we know all too well!), but it is still possible to be that rare one in your group of friends that finds the property of their dreams at the right price! Granted, it may take a lot of flexibility, patience, networking and a dollop of good luck, but it will all be worth it in the end.
