Historic year for O’Donnellan and Joyce auction department

Thu, Dec 30, 2021

Government restrictions major influence on the rental market

Thu, Dec 30, 2021

O’Donnellan and Joyce witnessed a lot of inquiries for every property brought to the rental market. This of course varied on price range but rents overall were stronger than 2020. By Q2 2021 the market was back in full swing with a huge demand for properties and high prices being achievable. Where no restrictions applied, the rents exceeded previous prices achievable. This shows the pent up demand there was and the need for accommodation.

Jamie Costello, director of rentals at O’Donnellan & Joyce, commented: “Many people returned to Galway city after long periods in lockdown in their native counties. This led to a sharp rise in rents with the demand coming at the same time. Out of city suburbs have gotten even more popular due to working from home opportunities offered by employers to attract talent.”

Sherry FitzGerald 2021 market review

Thu, Dec 23, 2021

More than a year on from the beginning of the pandemic, the fallout from it continues to bear significantly on the property market. Prior to the onset of Covid-19, lack of supply was the predominant issue facing the residential property market both in Galway and nationally, but this situation has been greatly exacerbated by the necessary national lockdowns. The lockdown at the start of 2021 had a twofold impact on supply. It necessitated the closure of most residential construction sites for several months, slowing new homes construction, while also inhibiting potential vendors from listing their property for sale, diminishing second-hand supply.
