A year of change

Thu, Jan 08, 2009

The year 2008 will be remembered as a year of change for the global economy, the Irish economy, and the Irish property market. From a rapidly expanding Irish economy between 2002 and 2006, and in tandem a rapidly expanding property market, to rapid contractions in 2008. The transition from expansion to contraction has been very difficult for most involved in business, and the property sector in particular. Reformation of business structures, changing market conditions, and new realities in product market values, reduced profits, and in many cases substantial losses and significant job losses. These are some of the consequences of the change.

The residential property market is one of the most talked about markets in our economy, and is often used as an anecdotal indicator of the health of the overall economy. The discussions have changed from the record high prices to how low prices will go and where the bottom is. It is difficult for both vendors and purchasers to know exactly where the current market value is for property. One thing for sure is that the market has corrected more than most of the property indices suggest. Most suggest that the market has fallen by a maximum of 16 per cent from the peak of late 2006. We believe that prices have actually fallen in Galway city in the order of 17 to 30 per cent; this is for actual sales, not asking prices. From a recent analysis of sales since the beginning of November in our Eyre Square office we see prices have been 16.6 to 34 per cent lower than what would have been peak prices for these properties. What is encouraging is that there is considerable activity and interest in a property when it is pitched at or close to these new market prices, with many sales.
