254 From Crisis to Chaos: Is the Housing System Beyond Repair?
05/06/2025
254 From Crisis to Chaos: Is the Housing System Beyond Repair?
Episode 254. From Crisis to Chaos: Is the Housing System Beyond Repair? In this episode, I confront the accelerating dysfunction in Ireland’s housing system. I explore why the traditional narrative that paints landlords as villains is flawed and how the exodus of landlords is shrinking rental supply, driving rents to unsustainable levels. I dive into the unintended economic consequences of this landlord exodus and the knock-on effects it has on recruitment, foreign investment, and job growth. The episode also tackles the failed appointment of a “housing czar” and the political gridlock stalling progress, as well as the economic warning from Ireland’s Central Bank governor. I question whether we’re truly facing a crisis—or has it now become chaos? *** Curious about my Accelerator👇🏼 My Website👇🏼 My Newsletter👇🏼 Buy me a Coffee👇🏼 *** Takeaways The vilification of landlords is damaging the rental market and shrinking supply. A functional housing system must serve renters as well as owner-occupiers. 30% of Q1 2025 property sales were landlords exiting the market; only 8% were landlord purchases. A net 22% decline in rental stock is unsustainable and driving rent inflation. Professional and corporate relocation is being hindered by the lack of rental options. The government’s political infighting derailed the appointment of a housing leader (housing czar). We need a CEO-level figure with a PLC skillset to solve a €17.5B housing shortfall. Ideology must give way to pragmatic solutions—fast. Economic headwinds (e.g., US tariffs) increase the urgency for housing reform. The system needs to serve all families—not just those with mortgage approval. *** Follow me on social media👇🏼 LinkedIn: Instagram: TikTok: YouTube: *** #investment #housingcrisis

Episode 231. Are House Prices 10% Overvalued? In this episode I discusses the current state of the Irish housing market, focusing on a recent report by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) that claims house prices are overvalued by 10%. I explore the implications of this finding, the affordability of mortgages, and the potential risks of a housing bubble reminiscent of the 2008 crash. I hope you find it useful and thought provoking. *** Sign up to my Accelerator👇🏼 Buy me a Coffee👇🏼 Join my free Newsletter👇🏼 *** Takeaways ESRI says House prices in Ireland are currently overvalued by 10% The ESRI's findings are based on rigorous analysis of economic fundamentals. Mortgage affordability is a significant concern for many buyers. There is a risk of a housing bubble if prices continue to rise without corresponding income growth. The 2008 crash serves as a cautionary tale for current market conditions. Supply of new housing is not keeping pace with demand, exacerbating the affordability crisis. Many potential buyers are overextending themselves financially in the current market. Alternatives like co-living and micro-apartments are being explored but face regulatory challenges. The risk of homelessness is increasing as housing becomes less affordable. Future interest rate changes could further impact housing prices and affordability. *** Keywords Irish housing market, ESRI, property prices, mortgage affordability, housing bubble, 2008 crash, rental market, housing supply, economic trends, investment properties *** Follow me on social media👇🏼 LinkedIn: Instagram: TikTok: YouTube: *** #investment #realestateinvesting #propertyinvestment
