House Prices Collapse By 11%
An influential property website has revealed that house prices have fallen again.
The recent figures show the average price of a house is now at €312,500 and says a fall of 3.8% in house prices was recorded in just three months between July and September.
The news comes a day after world markets were rocked by an unprecedented rate of decline in world markets despite efforts by governments to shore up their financial institutions with bail outs and guarantees.
Tuesday's panic selling around the world has led to more action being taken in the main economies, with the British government announcing a part-nationalisation of the country's eight main banks with a bailout worth up to £50billion.
The government said it would provide taxpayers' money to buy major stakes in the banks.
However, despite the announcement, London's FTSE index took a worrying dive following the announcement, but has clawed back to a smaller 3.9 loss on the day so far.
Details of the plan were divulged this morning by the Chancellor, Alistair Darling on Radio 4's The Today Programme, where Mr Darling was unable to say the £50 billion bailout was a guarantee to savings. The dive in FTSE share prices came minutes after the Chancellor's discussion.
The international moves are never-the-less expected to strengthen the financial institutions, and remove uncertainty in the markets, which is hoped will improve the levels of capital investment and trickle down to house price levels.
The fall of 11% on Irish homes is significant drop compared to the same period last year, with Clare and Cork being the worst affected counties where prices have fallen by 7.8% in Clare and by 7% in Cork.
Prices in Roscommon, Tipperary and Leitrim dropped by more than 6%.
