Pre 2015 real estate market

How did the property bust affect the market?

The Irish construction industry during the peak year of 2006 employed 386,000 people and represented 19% of the workforce

By 2014 it had halved to just 186,000 people and 7% of the workforce.

In turn this led to new residential unit construction output declining heavily from 78,211 new homes and 19,946 new apartments to new lows of 7,553 and 2,250 by 2014

Mortgage activity 2006 to 2007 at its height was 114,600 applications and a combined value of 32 billion Euro

● Ireland’s new residential completions continued to go against the rest of Europe, even during the Celtic Tiger Era

● The EU average in 2014 for property dwelling types was: 25.6% semi detached 33.7% detached 41% flats and apartments

● Ireland at the time had 58.3% of the population dwelling in semi detached (almost double the EU average) and lowest level of flat/apartment dwelling at around 5% (lowest in the EU at the time)

● New homes had never been below 80% of total completion activity anytime from 2004 to 2014

2014 30,000

2015 25,000

59% of all the sales transactions across the country took part in Dublin!

Building trends 2015● Irish new homes pre 2014 were almost equal to the EU 28 average of 90.7 SQ M (at

88.3 SQM) This changed dramatically in 2014 when new homes started to get smaller

● The EU 28 average from 2014 increased to 101 SQ M, as Ireland fell to the second smallest homes just above the UK (87.7 SQM)

Mortgage Activity 2006 to 2015 Year Number of Mortgage Applications

2006 114,600

2011 12,900

2013 17,056

2014 25,500

2015 26,756

The peak year of 2006 totalled 32 billion year, the reason I have included the year of 2011 is it that replicated the low levels of the 1970’s. As of 2015, Mortgage applications were worth 4.7 billion Euro. Borrowing from the central bank will be getting closer to the 8 billion mark over the coming years (29% growth projected by the end of 2016)

First Time Buyers and Mortgage Repossessions

● Despite Mortgage applications picking up year on year from 2011, it has not all been good news● Existing mortgage holders from 2007 have lost an alarming amount of 17.6 billion Euro in property value● The number of repossessions form 2014 to 2015 has increased by 200% (333 to 1000), Cork at 123

and Dublin 116 have the most repossession activity. ● Over 72 million Euros has been wrote off in 641 personal insolvency cases in 2015, as 4 billion Euro of

defaulted payments covers both family and investment properties● 43% of mortgage holders from 2011 were now experiencing negative equity with an average loss of

66,300 Euro. ● The average mortgage debt ratio of Europe in 2015 was 37%, Irish mortgage holders came in at 73%● At the end of 2015, Ireland had 38,000 homes with rents overdue by 720 days, 18,000 from 361 to 720

days and 12,000 180 to 361 days.● Ireland was amongst the worst countries for available credit at -13%, only beaten by the Ukraine (-32%),

the top European performers were Sweden (+4%), Norway (+3%) and Malta (+2%)

It’s not all bad news!● First time buyers in Quarter 1 to 3 2015 borrowed 1.685 million Euro over 10,000

transactions, increasing the average mortgage approval figure the previous year (1.877 million Euro over 11,476 transactions)

● The beginning of the year saw first time buyers averaging mortgages at 220,000 but by the end of Quarter 3 2015 increased to 250,000 plus.

● House prices increased by 2.7% in Dublin and 13% outside of the capital● Dublin houses were selling 7% above the listed price due to the shortage of stock

and on average within 3 months of entering the market. ● Cash buyers represented 46% of the buyers market in 2015, with an extremely

strong performance in Quarter 4 (8,103 out of 12,065 completed sales transactions)

● It is believed that Dublin as of 2015 had 32,000 millionaires, ranking it well inside the top 30 wealthiest cities in Europe.

● 27,000 new residential units were under planning stage from the end of 2015 up till February 2016 according to the CIS (construction Industry services) with Dublin being the desired location for 165 out of all 336 nationwide projects (49%)

The Number of real estate agency complaints logged increased from 198 in 2014 to 283 in 2015

In 2015, the RTB (formerly the PRTB) saw the number of complaints filed for unfair conduct complaints rise from 185 to 313, with 66 disputes already logged Quarter 1 2016. These complaints mostly regarded cases whereby, the rent being paid was higher than the true market rate. Rent deposits and arrears alone were the reason for 1,200 cases.

Warning Signs!

Quarter 1 2016 Dublin

Top performing Dublin regions● Dublin has the lowest vacancy rate in the country (4%), with the worst being Leitrim (30%), Donegal (28%) and Kerry

Quarter 2 2016 ● The regions with the most sales transactions were North County Dublin (257 down from 373 Quarter 2

2015), Dublin 15 (283 to 326) and Dublin 24 (284 to 219) ● Only County Dublin saw it sales transactions increase from 147 to 212.● Quarter 2 2015 had 4,115 sales transactions, this reduced to 2,798 sales transactions in Quarter 2

2016 (total sales value reduced from 1.4 billion to 1.1 billion Euro) ● Dublin 20 and 10 were amongst the weakest performers in Quarter 1, this performance continues into

Quarter 2 (34 to 12 transactions and 32 to 24 transactions) The low number of transactions also led to low sales activity of 3.09 million and 3.18 million Euro.

● Dublin 4, North County Dublin and Dublin 15 led the way in total sales value (130.15 million Euro , 119.52 million Euro and 85.52 million Euro) Both Dublin 4 and 15 were the top two areas in Quarter 1 2016, even with total sales reduced.

● Dublin 14, 3 and 2 all saw their quarter 1 performance almost halved in Quarter 2 2016 (86.35 to 48.79 million Euro, 49.2 to 28.5 million Euro and 26.2 million to 14 million Euro)

Sales and Rental Listings Quarter 2 2016● Dublin 10 and 20 low sales activity was backed up by having a low amount of listed

available sales listings ( 3 and 38 listings) joined by Dublin with 15. ● Dublin 15, 9 and 18 were the most active in sales listings 257,181 and 179, but both

Dublin 15 and Dublin 18 had seen their stock reduced from 391 and 204 sales listings in Quarter 1 2016

● Dublin 2 went from having more rental listings in quarter 1 (38 sales and 121 rentals) to 112 sales and 50 rentals in Quarter 2 2016.

● The most listed rental properties were found in County Dublin (245 rental listings), Dublin 4 (165) and Dublin 18 (102)

● The above listings support a trend that suburban living is becoming more popular than city living, especially as average sale prices are more affordable to a wider market.

Projected construction output in Ireland Year Total Construction Value

2014 9 billion Euro

2015 12.55 billion Euro

2016 Projected to be 15 billion Euro

● The Bruce Shaw institute believe that construction output should be closer to the 20-25 billion mark to release the target set of 25,000 new homes per year from 2014 to 2020.

● New residential units completed has continued to steadily increase from 2013, nearly doubling from 8,300 to a projected figure of 14,000.

● Dublin in Quarter 1 2016 had a total of 13 projects covering 1,113 new residential units (down from 12

projects and 1,222 units Quarter 4 2015)

What challenges do the developers face?● 35,443 new residential units are needed for the population growth expected

between 2014 to 2018 in Dublin alone. From the start of 2016 there is 1,073 new residential units in either under planning stage or planning agreed, surprisingly only 49 projects are onsite.

● Developers are now under huge pressure since the Paris treaty was signed, as the nearly zero energy efficiency standards (NZEB) has meant that the major challenges such as increased building costs, lack of labour and the re-education of the current labour force have been made ever clearer

● The Irish Green Building Council are looking to make new builds ongoing more environmentally friendly and reduce the level of greenhouse gases from present levels by 40-60%. By the end of the year Ireland has to submit its “Natural Renovation Strategy” to outline its plan to save up to 195 million Euro in building energy costs and maintenance by 2020.

What challenges do the developers face?

● It is well known to the Construction Industry Federation that not many developers have a clear understanding of the new banking regulations. This is a major weakness where they are now unable to get 100% funding from the bank

● New banking regulations now mean that only 65% of the project funds can provided by the bank, meaning an additional 35% is required from a third party or mezzanine funding party. The levels of profit per unit continues to drop so now sharing equity means building are harming their already declining profits but also increasing their overall risk.

● The most recent SCSI report for new homes costs and activity had a survey speaking to developers about their intentions to deliver new residential units to the market, 61% in both homes and apartments would deliver less than 20 new units. Development for over 50 and 100 residential units for houses and apartments, is only 6 and 2% and 11 and 11%.

● The cost of new building according to the SCSi as of Quarter 2 2016 is around 330,000 Euro, whilst the average sales price in Dublin is 285,000 (so there is presently a shortfall of 45,000 Euro)
