When I publish videos online-on sites like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok-there are always comments from a small group of individuals who talk about the “next crash”.
As if the “next crash” was inevitable.
They are referring, of course, to the big property crash we had in 2008 or thereabouts which saw the end of the Celtic Tiger boom years.
And stating with certainty that another similar crash is bound to happen.
A “next crash” is not an inevitability.
Merely because we had a crash in the past does not necessarily mean we will have one in the future.
It’s possible, yes, but not inevitable.
Meanwhile, you need to live somewhere.
Unless you want to pay rent or bunk with family and friends you need to consider that buying a house might be a good idea, regardless of any potential periods of price rises or falls.
