3 Angela Keegan Managing Director MyHome.ie In this issue Our Q4 property report which is published in association with Davy is forecasting that house price inflation will increase by 8% in While this is a welcome reduction on the 10%+ we saw in 2017, it is still more than one would like to see and is not sustainable in the long term. Following a dramatic surge during the summer of 2017 prices eased somewhat in Q3 before falling slightly as per seasonal norms in Q4. It s interesting to note that asking prices have fallen in the final quarter of each of the last five years before bouncing back in the spring and that is a pattern we expect to see happening once again in The price increases of 2017 were largely driven by strong jobs growth, rising incomes and increasing competition among buyers for the limited number of homes available. Of course, the Help to Buy scheme and the easing of mortgage lending rules by the Central Bank of Ireland led to an increase in firsttime-buyer activity, as well as an increase in prices. As we predicted back then prices hit double digit growth as a result of those policy interventions. While transactions were up a welcome 10% in 2017, supply, or rather the lack of it, remains the key issue and will continue to be for the medium term. The housing crisis will be the key test for the Government and it was interesting to see the Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe acknowledge that when he effectively staked the Government s reputation on resolving the housing crisis in a recent interview.

4 ASKING PRICE INFLATION ACCELERATES INTO DOUBLE-DIGIT TERRITORY Conall MacCoille, Chief Economist, Davy Research T he latest MyHome report shows a small 1% drop in asking prices in the final three months of However, this is in line with normal seasonal trends. Asking prices have fallen in the final quarter of each of the last five years before bouncing back in the spring. We expect a similar pattern in early In fact, the 1% fall is smaller than the 2% decline in Q4 2016, so annual asking price inflation has accelerated to 10.2%. The Irish housing market grinds tighter as lack of supply continues the dominant feature. The 18,900 properties listed for sale is down 9% on last year, with properties being snapped up ever more quickly by homebuyers. Homebuilding remains well below natural demographic demand, albeit rising quickly from a very low base. Encouragingly, Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy has unveiled apartment standards that reduce the cost of construction. Overall, housing market transactions look set to rise by 10% in volume terms in 2017 towards 55,000. We expect transactional activity to grow further in 2018, helped by Irish households building equity in their homes and therefore being more willing to move. This time last year, the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) eased its mortgage lending rules, eliminating restrictions on loans above 220,000 on the number of first-time buyers could take out 90% loan-to-value mortgages. This led to a sharp pick-up in asking prices in early 2017, leading us to revise upwards our forecasts for house price inflation in 2017 into double-digit territory. Suffice to say our predictions have been borne out by the price gains since then. We have now come almost full circle. This year, the CBI has tightened the mortgage lending rules. The proportion of high loan-to-income (LTI) mortgages (over 3.5x) given to first-time buyers was 24% in H and will have to fall back to the 20% stipulated under the new rules cooling house price inflation in more expensive areas in Dublin accounted for the lion s share of high LTI mortgages in H1 2017, 62% of the total. The median first-time buyer house price in Dublin was 321,000 far higher than the 238,000 national figure. Homebuyers in Dublin have been taking out ever higher levels of mortgage debt the availability of which will be curtailed slightly in Looking ahead to 2018, we still expect a robust pace of house price inflation close to 8%. However, the pattern of house prices we had seen up to 2017 is likely to be re-established. Double-digit price gains are still likely outside the capital, where the recovery began later, prices are cheaper and there is still scope for leverage on mortgage lending to rise. Dublin should see a more sedate mid-single-digit gain, similar to the 6.6% rise recorded through MyHome.ie Property Report: Q

The better annual comparison shows prices up 10.2% over the past 12 months, the fastest pace of inflation since early The Central Statistics Office s official Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) rose by 12.1% in the year to October Ireland s recovery, the Help-to-Buy scheme, a loosening of the mortgage lending rules in late 2016 and the lack of housing supply all appear to have contributed to further price gains. However, outside Dublin, RPPI inflation picked up only slightly from 11.2% in December 2016 to 12.8% in October The real acceleration has been in the capital, Dublin, where price inflation rose from 6.6% in December to 11.6% in October. Similarly, the MyHome asking price measure for the capital is up 11.1%. However, we still expect Irish house price inflation to slow in Notably, the CBI has now tightened its mortgage lending rules. This should slow the process of rising leverage in Ireland s housing market, particularly in the capital where affordability is most stretched. Hence, we still expect 8% RPPI inflation through 2018, albeit probably split between further Asking prices, Dublin and national Figure 1 yoy % 30 National Asking Prices (New Instructions) Dublin Asking Prices (New Instructions) Source: MyHome.ie MyHome.ie Property Report: Q

Housing market activity still gradually recovering Property Price Register data indicate that residential property market transactions grew by 10% in volume terms to around 55,000 in the calendar year This is a welcome improvement in activity levels. Nonetheless, the overall picture is still an illiquid market hindered by the lack of fresh housing supply. At current transaction rates, the average Irish home is sold just once every 36 years. Several indicators in the Q MyHome report show that the housing market continues to grind tighter becoming increasingly more difficult for would-be buyers. At end-2017, the number of properties listed for sale had fallen to just 18,900. This is a fresh record low, down 9.4% on the year representing less than 1% of the housing stock. Not surprisingly, the average time to sale agreed was just 3.8 months nationally and 2.8 months in Dublin, illustrating that whatever stock is for sale is sold ever more quickly. Looking forward to 2018, a further improvement in housing market liquidity is likely. Poor homebuilding levels will continue to hold back transaction levels. However, many Irish households have been unwilling to move home due to their stretched finances, 2 Proportion of mortgages in negative equity at end-year Table 2 Owner - occupier Buy -to-let % 55% % 35% % 23% September % 16% Source: Central Bank of Ireland MyHome.ie Property Report: Q

7 specifically their lack of housing equity. However, rising house prices have now dragged all but 9% of owneroccupiers out of negative equity, a stark improvement from the 36% at end With greater equity in their homes, more Irish households will seek to move home in Homebuilding sector growing from weak levels Ireland still does not have a reliable measure of homebuilding. Eventually, the new Building Control Management System (BCMS) will form the basis of a more reliable measure of housing completions. For now, a range of indicators still suggest that housing supply is picking up rapidly but from a very low base. Figure 5 shows that electricity supply grid connections (+28%), BCMS commencements (+36%), HomeBond registrations (+84%), stamp duty filings on new homes (+40%) and planning permissions (+15%) all point to accelerating activity. However, the true level of housing supply is still not clear. That said, on any of these measures, activity is still well below our estimated demand of 35-50,000 units per annum. The latest measures to support housing supply are the new design standards for apartments published on December 18th. These allow developments to include a greater proportion (up to 50% in urban areas) of one-bedroom apartments. Furthermore, the number of required dual aspect apartments within developments has been reduced from 50% to 33% and unit per core increased to 12 from 8 previously. The guidelines also provide less onerous restrictions for the build-to-rent sector in terms of product mix and seek to eliminate or substantially reduce the requirement for car parking space in urban locations close to public transport. However, concrete action on building heights appears to have been deferred until the adoption of the National Planning Framework (due in 2018). Tighter mortgage lending rules will be felt in Dublin Typically, would-be homebuyers in Ireland have reacted to a lack of housing supply by taking out greater levels of mortgage debt, forcing prices higher. This process certainly seems to have played out over the past 12 months. Figure 6 illustrates that the average mortgage loan for house purchase was 221,000 in Q3 2017, up 11% on the 199,000 recorded one year ago. The CBI has now tightened its mortgage lending rules for Previously, up to 20% of new mortgage loans for house purchase were allowed to have a LTI exceeding 3.5x. The new rule reduces this allocation; only 10% of new mover-purchaser loans will now be allowed a LTI ratio over 3.5x. The allocation is left unchanged for first-time buyers at 20%. In H1 2017, 24% of first-time buyers and 10% 3 Indicators of construction activity Table 3 Period % change ESB Electricity supply grid connections Jan - Oct % Commencements Jan - Oct % Home bond registrations Jan - Oct % Stamp duty returns, new homes Filings Jan - Oct % Executions Jan - Oct % Planning permissions, units Jan - Sep % Property Price Register, new homes Jan - Dec % Help-to-buy claims Jan - Dec % Source: Central Statistics Office MyHome.ie Property Report: Q

8 of mover-purchasers had a LTI ratio over 3.5x. So the new rules mean that Irish banks will have to tighten credit availability in This should slow house price inflation, particularly in Dublin where affordability has become most stretched.

9 Dublin was 76,700 in Q with a median house price of 321,400 implying a price to income ratio of 4.2x versus 3.7x across Ireland. Hence, Irish house price inflation is likely to return to a similar pattern to that in Through 2016, RPPI inflation in Dublin was 6.6%, 11.2% outside Dublin and 9% across the entire country. Looking forward to 2018, double-digit growth outside the capital is still likely as the process of catch-up continues and as leverage on mortgage lending continues to rise. However, stretched affordability coupled with the constraint of the mortgage lending rules should slow house price inflation in Dublin to mid-single-digit levels. Property Price Register analysis Total transactions in Ireland s residential property market look set to finish the calendar year 2017 at around bn. This represents significant growth from the 12.2bn recorded in 2016, with transaction volumes set to grow by 10% in volume terms towards 55,000 by the end of The Property Price Register update on December 13th indicated that there were 46,885 transactions so far in 2017 worth 12.5bn. In the first three quarters of 2017, there were 37,580 transactions up 9.7% on the same period of Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) data show that there were 20,700 mortgage loans for house purchase in the first three quarters of 2017, up 20% on the year. Cash sales accounted for 33% of purchases in Q3 2017, down from a peak of 45% in 2013, although this measure excludes non-household buyers.

11 DUBLIN ANALYSIS The capital has seen the sharpest acceleration in house price inflation over the past 12 months. From a trough of just 2.5% in June 2016, RPPI inflation in Dublin accelerated to 11.6% in October. The pick-up has been broad-based across the city with Dublin city (12.9%), Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown (9.7%), Fingal (12.2%) and South Dublin (14.4%) all seeing close to double-digit gains in the year to October. DUBLIN OVERALL 295, % DUBLIN NORTH The MyHome data for Q show little sign of any slowdown. Asking prices on the latest properties listed for sale in Dublin fell by 0.4% in the final quarter. However, this reflects the usual seasonal drop 284, % in prices at the end of the calendar year. Asking prices in Dublin are still up 11% year-on-year. The median asking price for a three-bedroom, semi-detached house in Dublin was 295,000 in Q4 2017, up 3.5% on the year. For larger four-bedroom, detached houses, the median asking price was 633,000 up 5.4% on the year. Dublin North city saw a sharp 28% annual gain in the median asking price to 230,000, although this largely reflects changes in the mix of properties. Dublin South remains the most expensive part of the city with a median asking price of 350,000.

16 ABOUT THE REPORT Graham Neary, CFA, Dublin Graham is an independent financial analyst who specialises in investment consulting services. He previously managed portfolios for an international mutual organisation in London with over 14 billion in assets under management and one million members across Canada, the US and the UK. He has eight years of financial marketplace experience, holds a degree in mathematics from Trinity College Dublin, and is a CFA Charterholder (Chartered Financial Analyst). MyHome.ie Property Report: The Method The trends presented in this report are based on actual asking prices of properties advertised on MyHome.ie with comparisons by quarter over the last eight years. This represents the majority of properties for sale in Ireland from leading estate agents nationwide. The series in this report have been produced using a combination of statistical techniques. Our data is collected from quarterly snapshots of active, available properties on MyHome.ie. Our main indices have been constructed with a widely-used regression technique which adjusts for change in the mixture of properties for sale in each quarter. Since the supply of property in each quarter has a different combination of types, sizes and locations, the real trends in property prices are easily obscured. Our method is designed to reflect price change independent of this variation in mix. For detailed statistics at a local level, we also provide a wide selection of median asking prices broken down by county or by urban location. For analysis of the Property Price Register prices were adjusted upwards to account for VAT where necessary, and only full market value prices were used. No silver bullet for Ireland s housing crisis. MyHome.ie Property Report: Q
