Appetite to buy homes is on the increase

A survey by property website Daft.ie found 17% of those questioned hoped to buy a home as soon as possible while almost half (45.5%) intended to close a deal within the year.

That is an eight-point increase in the percentage who felt ready to make a move within a 12-month window last year and it comes despite the feeling that prices have another 5% or 6% to drop this year.
