Goodbody Stockbrokers - house prices will fall "AT LEAST" 40% from there peak

A new report from Goodbody Stockbrokers has forecast that the Irish economy will shrink by 6% this year. Goodbody's economic forecast compares with the 4% falls for this year recently predicted by the Government and the Central Bank. They also go on to say house prices will fall "AT LEAST" 40% from there peak.

Based on the above let's take a house originally priced at €890,000 now reduced to €650,000, based on the Goodbody Stockbrokers forecast this house should be valued at €365,000
