When they say that income figure then if it is a couple buying I assume it is their joint incomes. So if 60% are joint purchasers thats massively impacting it. Like 84k as median would be joint couple on 42k each.
I assume that’s joint income?
So more or less what we all know, either have to be buying with a partner or have a very well paying job to have a chance at buying a home.
Not much chance for single people earning on the lower end.
Is the income figure before or after tax?
I’d assume after, which nakes it even more grim. Didn’t find a specification on the article.
Given that the median salary in Ireland is a little over 43k, and the majority of home buyers are couples, 84k median for home buyers sounds about right, that’d be a couple on 42k each.
That’s just a hair above 2x median earners‘ income so that makes sense.
Interesting though that 40% of purchases weren’t joint buyers, and 67% were over 35. Having been on a househunt recently there were a lot of down- and upsizers which would track.
A pack of cigarettes right now is the equivalent of 11% of my net worth…
Redundancy in the tech space got me, ( Gonna be a LOT more common) and I legitimately have no idea how anyone not already from wealth is ever going to climb that ladder.
This tracks with our experience last year. We’re on about €88K combined. I’d never be able to afford a home on my own in this country, and neither would my husband.
If you arent a couple or rich then goodluck getting on the housing ladder. 1 bed apartments and 1/2 bed townhouses are beyond most individuals. Market is broken
