TWO REPORTS ON house prices have confirmed that average prices are still dropping. However, while the MyHome.ie report said that the average price fell over 7 per cent in the last quarter, the Daft.ie report indicated that prices were dropping at a much slower rate – 1.4 per cent. Daft.ie also said that the number of properties currently for sale is at its lowest level in four years.

Taking all this into account – you can read a further breakdown of the reports here - do you think that now is a good time to buy property? (Feel free to vote, whether you already own a property or not – we’re interested to know how positive or negative people feel about the level of property prices now.)
