Can't tell you how many times I have seen sales without a third party mediator fall apart

I assumed the arse would fall out of the housing market but a house 3 doors up from me went on sale a few weeks back and is already sold, for much the same, if not more, than pre-Covid prices. Had 5 or 6 people bidding too.

Are you seeing much of a drop?
I don't expect to see "the arse fall out of things" as you say, not in the way it did in 2008. In 2008 far more people of a house-buying age lost jobs, that hasn't really happened yet. Most of the jobs lost so far has been in pubs/restaurants/tourism which would have a lot of younger people employed. There's a lot of people who want to buy houses that still can. 

The impact will be much slower on this one. Once the world rebalances to where people want to live (will immigrants return home out of ireland, will Irish people decide to leave the cities and work remote), then loads of houses that were normally rented will go for sale instead if they can't find tenants. That might flood certain markets, but I don't see it happening overnight. People deciding to relocate isn't instant, landlords deciding they want to sell up isn't an overnight decision, give it a year and we might see a noticeable difference

Last 3 weeks have been mad busy and haven't seen any drop,and in some cases an increase. Plenty of sale agreeds and new listings

People still want to buy and banks are willing to lend,and starting to see mortgage valuations take off again which is great. Next 6 weeks will tell a tale
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

can be worth approaching the owner for a direct sale, saves on fees for both, esp if it's a cash sale, just agree on price

purple bricks an option too

I'm looking to buy at the minute and its funny how you can be auto focused on the property photos and details as advertised by estate agent. Many are doing videos and virtual reality visit to property because of covid. Generally the big hitters Sherry Fitz etc are best but prob take the biggest cut. Get a list of agents in your area and look at their website and the way they advertise properties. Some are terrible some excellent. 
The excellent advertisers are the ones who get the Web hits. Make sure it goes up on Daft and My Homes website. Estate Agent should do that.
GOOD LUCK I think prices are going to drop soon ie 3/4 months

I am planning to sale my apartment, how can I find a good real estate agency ? There are just a lot of them around, I don't know which one to choose. Do any of them give a first free consultation ?
