hi all
it seems this is the right place to ask questions about how to shape one's future....
Im looking to buy in this year, no huge rush at the minute.
AIB seems to be doing a 3.25% for 5 year interest rate for mortgages for FTB at the moment, at least until march and it seems interesting.
however it would seem that house prices have not come down nearly at all in the last year or so?

Anyway
I currently work on St James Street Dublin 8 and the only places i will be working for the next 3-4 years will range from St James street dublin 8, st eds area lucan (near woodies), Tallaght hospital, and Naas general hospital.
However im looking for somewhere close to a bus route as well (i will be driving but will have someone living with me who needs to take the bus into city centre at least for the next year).
It would seem lucan is central to all those areas unless someone can recommend me somewhere closer/more accessible/easier.
Im currently looking on my own but will be getting married by next year so will be looking to start a family while being around the house im going to buy.
Budget is 300 - 350 K.
i think that would get me a good house in the current climate.
Ideally looking at those houses that are ready to move in, semi detached, space for 2 cars, 3 beds / 2-3 baths (one ensuite), good standard with not much work needed.
Ive seen a few interesting houses in lucan but im wondering amongst all those being sold (and there are a few!) which areas would be the best based on the above criterias? id be very grateful for any insight from all you users. ive searched lucan posts and have got some good info, but most would be pre-2008.
Thanks for the help!
