Sentiment among prospective homebuyers appears to be holding up in the face of the pandemic, research by MyHome.ie suggests. This compares with 68 per cent when the question was asked as part of a survey in May. Prospective homebuyers are also increasingly less expectant that house prices will fall significantly over the next year due to the virus. About 40 per cent of prospective homebuyers expect price falls of less than 10 per cent, compared to 45 per cent in May. Angela Keegan, managing director of MyHome.ie, said “many prospective buyers have not been hit by the economic fallout from Covid-19”.
