Republic of Ireland Finance Bill (No. 2) abolishes stamp duty for first time buyers who occupy their own properties. The exemption applies to new and second hand dwellings - this should result in an increase in residential real estate sector activities. New home registrations is expected to reach 60,000 units this year, therefore supply of new houses is set to fall significantly in 2008. Given a decrease in development land transactions during 2007, there was considerable increase in forward planning for medium and large development schemes within Dublin and other major urban areas of Ireland.

Dublin office building boom continues unabated - construction is up fivefold compared to 2006. Demand from firms in the legal and financial services areas seeking extra space increased office take-up in Dublin to record levels during 2007. With housing construction expected to slow down, the expansion in commercial building is good news for the construction industry, as well as the Government which depends on the construction sector to provide employment and tax revenue.

Dublin is currently rated as 6th most expensive office location in the world and the fastest climber, jumping from 12th to 6th position. Demand for retail space has been supported by economic trends in 2007. Public sector rental take-up of Dublin office space increased fourfold during 2007. With restricted supply of office accommodation, vacancy rates have been come down to 10.7% in Dublin overall, and 9.3% in Dublin city centre.

The year 2007 set new records for Dublin commercial rental. Offices are currently the best performing commercial property sector. Figures published show that Dublin office space renting by the Government alone increased by more than 400%. The supply of office space in Dublin city centre remains limited and there is little sign of this increasing to meet demand. Across the country, the supply of retail space has expanded greatly with many major developments completed in recent months. Currently there is a large supply of retail warehousing, providing excellent buying and rental opportunities.
