New Homes: Government schemes hitting their stride

New home buyers will find some positives in the latest trends in Ireland’s evolving new homes market, writes Conor Power

The First Home scheme is gaining momentum. The profile of buyer for many schemes is over 75% First Time Buyers, with over 25% of these using the First Homes Scheme. 

There may be plenty of things wrong about the current housing situation in Ireland, but one area where the Government have not been found wanting is that of schemes to help and encourage the First Time Buyer (as well as others) to buy their own home.

While on the supply side of the equation, more time and effort will be required, the various schemes that the current administration has come up with are really making their presence felt.
