I don't think the point about the builders being limited to density in this case has helped the purchaser. What the builder has done to overcome this is to give people ten foot north facing back gardens! What will impact house prices is as always, supply and demand. Once the market picks up in Autumn prices will increase as usual.Anyone moving from a three bedroom to a four bed will not be affected by new deposit restrictions. Twenty years ago we spent three to four times our annual salary on a home. Now we are spending over eight times! Have we lost the plot. Over half a million for a three bedroom family home.The builders must be laughing at us. The Diswellstown development is funded by NAMA. We as tax payers have already bailed them out. Now we are giving them over 300k per site! I know we are where we are but that doesn't mean the builders ate not ripping us off. We have learned nothing. The proper bubble is starting again. Just think about it ,over six hundred thousand euro for a house in Carpenterstown. Its crazy.
