1 Bed Apartment from €305,000 c. 707 square feet (3 remaining)
2 Bed Apartment from €395,000 c. 708 square feet (1 remaining)
2 Bed Apartment plus study from €409,000 c. 812 square feet (8 remaining)
Are there many jobs there?I've seen 4 bed detached on 1/2 acre sites up here for that sort of money.
i'm currently thinking of buying an apartment in dublin,
i have a significant deposit and could afford the repayments on a 2 bed apartment in a reasonable area without huge strain but it would entail me paying around 40% of my take home pay on the mortgage, part of me is thinking i should buy a 1 bed and have a much easier time of it financially and while i intend on living there for a while a good few people have said that selling a 1 bed is a lot harder than a 2 bed and that the capital appreciation is much less on a 1 bed.
one of my concerns is that in some developments i've looked at online there is little difference in size between 1 and 2 beds but a very large difference in price see here for example

You can get a three bedroom house in Dublin now for less than 200k.www.daft.ie/120769Reading this thread makes me glad to be in Donegal !!
€305k for a 707sq foot 1 bed apt - thats just crazy money for something so small.

the same price differential exists within dublin itself. And 707 sq ft would not be considered small - certainly not for a 1 bed.

Plenty of sub 190k apartments too.
"appreciation" may also be a long way off the way property is going at present, especially in the apartment market.
Not sure if we are allowed to link to other sites here but www.thepropertypin.com is a site I use and certainly has steered all my decisions (propertywise) and the posters there seem to have a good overall grasp of the market.
