That letter was the longest economic suicide letter ever,the debt burden is simply unsustainable.

Here’s the report.

The referenced internal report by JP Morgan,is widely available and worth a read.

I would go further and say using mean price is meaningless, due to the presence of “€127m/€127k” properties, entire apartment blocks going in as one transaction, etc. If you are going to use anything that crude, use the median. While it is a less than reliable stat (certainly quarter on quarter), over a year or two it will give you a fair enough picture of what’s happening.

In relation to transactions, as is done in the latest Daft.ie report, it is worth comparing 2010 also (see page 7 here: http://www.daft.ie/report/Daft-House-Price-Report-Q4-2012.pdf). In many ways, 2012 was just the undoing of the post-bailout crash in transactions in 2011, especially in Dublin.

It’ll be like U2 playing the Dandelion; everyone in the Country will have been there at the time! Good on yez Diarmuid, Fiona marchers and speakers.
