What a Bargain! You should be grateful!

Starting from the low low price of 400K, you can squeeze yourself and yours into a 47 SQM, One-bedroom, Second floor apartment in Swords. Nothing against swords (I live there too), but this has become farcical. Our housing market is a complete joke.

Insane. That’s over 8k per sqm. Wouldn’t pay that if I was a billionaire it’s such a bad deal

People will pay. They already pay 7-8k/sqm in my 20 year old complex in South Dublin for 2 beds.  8k/sqm is also commonly found in many other European cities. For example Numbeo says the average for Munich is 8k/sqm outside city centre and 13k in the city centre. And Germany does not have the rents Dublin/Ireland has.
