    231. Are House Prices 10% Overvalued?

    Episode 231. Are House Prices 10% Overvalued? In this episode I discusses the current state of the Irish housing market, focusing on a recent report by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) that claims house prices are overvalued by 10%. I explore the implications of this finding, the affordability of mortgages, and the potential risks of a housing bubble reminiscent of the 2008 crash. I hope you find it useful and thought provoking. *** Sign up to my Accelerator👇🏼 https://epa-application.scoreapp.com/  Buy me a Coffee👇🏼 buymeacoffee.com/gavinjgallagher  Join my free Newsletter👇🏼 https://gavinjgallagher.ck.page/newsletter  *** Takeaways ESRI says House prices in Ireland are currently overvalued by 10% The ESRI's findings are based on rigorous analysis of economic fundamentals. Mortgage affordability is a significant concern for many buyers. There is a risk of a housing bubble if prices continue to rise without corresponding income growth. The 2008 crash serves as a cautionary tale for current market conditions. Supply of new housing is not keeping pace with demand, exacerbating the affordability crisis. Many potential buyers are overextending themselves financially in the current market. Alternatives like co-living and micro-apartments are being explored but face regulatory challenges. The risk of homelessness is increasing as housing becomes less affordable. Future interest rate changes could further impact housing prices and affordability. *** Keywords Irish housing market, ESRI, property prices, mortgage affordability, housing bubble, 2008 crash, rental market, housing supply, economic trends, investment properties *** Follow me on social media👇🏼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavinjgallagher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gavinjgallagher/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gavinjgallagher/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GavinJGallagher  *** #investment #realestateinvesting #propertyinvestment

    Financial Independence & Your Investor DNA with Joey Muré

    226. Financial Independence & Your Investor DNA with Joey Muré In this episode I speak with Joey Mure discuss the importance and significance of taking control of one's finances, and strategies for achieving financial freedom. We explore the pitfalls of lifestyle inflation and the necessity of having a clear financial operating system to guide investment decisions. Joey shares his personal journey from working long hours in the mortgage industry to discovering the importance of passive income and financial independence. We explore various investment strategies, including real estate and the significance of understanding one's investor DNA. The discussion also highlights the value of mentorship and learning from past mistakes in the investment journey. Joey's website: https://www.wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/  Joey's Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6TKal6DCxfr8a42oyH6Lyt?si=44a9d87366b540ae  *** Join my free Newsletter👇🏼 https://gavinjgallagher.ck.page/newsletter  Curious about my Accelerator👇🏼 https://epa-application.scoreapp.com/  Buy me a Coffee👇🏼 buymeacoffee.com/gavinjgallagher  *** Takeaways The importance of resilience in navigating financial ups and downs. Wall Street does not prioritise individual financial control.   Financial freedom is defined as passive income exceeding monthly expenses. Take control of personal finances rather than relying on external managers. A clear financial operating system is essential for achieving financial goals. Real estate must produce passive income to be effective - potential future capital appreciation should be a secondary consideration. Understanding your investor DNA helps with making better investment choices. Debt freedom does not necessarily equate to financial freedom.     *** Follow me on social media👇🏼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavinjgallagher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gavinjgallagher/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gavinjgallagher/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GavinJGallagher  *** #investment #realestateinvesting #propertyinvestment

    Where Next for the Property Market?

    Episode 225. Where Next for the Property Market? In this episode I address a pressing question around the future of the property market, particularly in light of recent price increases that have surpassed the 2007 peak. I cover the fundamental economic principles of supply and demand, emphasising the distinction between necessity-driven demand and speculation. Reflecting on the lessons learned from the 2008 market collapse, highlighting how speculation led to a significant downturn. My arguemernt is that the current market is primarily driven by necessity, as the need for housing remains critical amidst rising prices and insufficient supply. The discussion also touches on the impact of interest rates and government interventions on the housing market, concluding with predictions about future trends and potential changes in the market landscape.  I hope you enjoy. *** Curious about my Accelerator?👇🏼 https://epa-application.scoreapp.com/  Join my free Newsletter👇🏼 https://gavinjgallagher.ck.page/newsletter  Buy me a Coffee👇🏼 buymeacoffee.com/gavinjgallagher  *** Takeaways Significant concerns exist about future prices. Difference between necessity-driven demand and speculative demand is crucial. The 2007 market collapse was largely driven by rampant speculation. Current demand for housing is fundamentally driven by necessity. Interest rates have a reverse correlation with property prices. Government interventions can complicate market dynamics and affect supply. The construction of new homes is not keeping pace with population growth. Rents are likely to continue rising due to limited supply. The market is difficult to repair due to various economic pressures. Future predictions for the property market remain uncertain but lean towards continued price increases. *** Follow me on social media👇🏼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavinjgallagher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gavinjgallagher/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gavinjgallagher/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GavinJGallagher  *** #investment #realestateinvesting #propertyinvestment
