Estate agents are hoping that a Brexit bounce will return the property market to growth in 2020.
A survey carried out for the Irish Independent by the Real Estate Alliance Group has found that agents throughout the country expect prices to rise by 2.4% on average in the next 12 months.
This prediction comes off the back of a 2019 which saw average house prices decrease by -0.6% nationally and -4.3% in Dublin city with Brexit uncertainty playing a major part – especially at the higher end of the market.
Price rises of 2.8% are predicted by agents in the capital’s postcode zones, with north county Dublin increases of 2% forecasted (-2% last year).
South County Dublin lost most due to the Brexit effect (-5.1% in 2019) and the survey sees a level of confidence returning to the market, with a 2.2% upturn on present prices forecast in 2020.
Agents in the area believe that certainty will encourage activity after a year that saw houses in the €550k-plus price brackets drop €30,000 in value.
“With slightly more clarity on our economic future in the last few months of the year we saw a bit of a selling resurgence - but mainly at the lower end of the market,” said REA spokesperson Barry McDonald.
“There are financed first-time buyers in the market, but a shortage of supply of the type of accommodation that is most in demand, at a price that is affordable.
“The market continues to be characterised by small investors selling up and an absence of cash buyers, leaving sales dependent on working couples and the availability of finance.
“However, with wages not rising and Central Bank limits remaining unchanged, house prices are not going to take a dramatic rise in the short term.
“Homes between €250,000 and €350,000 are selling quite quickly, the market up to €450,000 is much slower, and over that point is where the absence of buyers is apparent.
“Where new homes are being built in Dublin and the commuter areas, they are selling reasonably well – but only up to a certain price-point
“For the market above that €450,000 point to change, we need certainty, confidence and clarity over Brexit.
“The difference between now and 2007 is that the market is not aspirational, and people are moving when they have to, for space purposes, rather than feeling pressured to constantly upgrade.”
Pricing is the key to sales success as fresh properties enter the Dublin market, according to Paul Grimes of REA Grimes in Clontarf and the city centre.
“The lending restrictions mean that buyers have a budget and the condition of the property at the price becomes a deciding factor due to the increasing cost of renovations,” he said.
“With less negativity in the air we predict a solid year with demand keeping prices stable rather than fuelling growth.”
Agents in three of the four main cities outside Dublin are cautiously optimistic about 2020, with rises of 2% predicted in Cork (1% in 2019) and 4% in Galway which experienced no growth last year.
Limerick is also forecasting 2% growth, off the back of a 2.5% rise in 2019, with agent Michael O’Connor of REA O’Connor Murphy predicting that a number of new developments due to come on the market will increase supply and possibly cap price increases.
Agents in Waterford are predicting that prices will remain static after a year which saw average houses rise by €5,000 to €215,000 – thanks to activity in the last few months of the year.
Galway agents McGreal Burke say that Brexit and other factors made the second half of 2019 slower than expected, but feel that this may have built up a reservoir of transactable purchasers who will be confident to enter the market this year.
Commuter counties suffered a 1% fall in 2019, with most losses sustained in the third quarter, and are looking for prices to rebound by 1.5% in 2020.
“An increasing supply of new homes plus Brexit uncertainty will continue to affect the second-hand market in commuter areas,” said Darina Collins of REA O’Brien Collins in Drogheda, who is predicting no change in prices in 2020 after Louth saw prices fall by -5% in 2019.
“A growing awareness of energy ratings and environmental issues, along with first-time buyer incentives are making new builds more attractive in the average family home market.”
The biggest rise being predicted nationwide is in Sligo (5%) where, with market values at €137,000, demand is strong for available stock and prices increased by 11.3% in 2019.
“We expect the market to continue to rise in value. New building is required urgently, but the market not yet meeting increased build costs,” said Roger McCarrick of REA McCarrick and sons.
The country’s large towns experienced 2.85% growth last year, and REA agents are predicting that this will continue at a rate of 2.9% into 2020.
“Average prices in these towns are €162,207, meaning that supply, not the Central Bank restrictions, is the main driver of the market,” said Barry McDonald.
“An increasing level of sales by small investors is being cited by agents nationwide as landlords exit the market – and in some cases this will supress price growth in smaller areas.”

REA Average House Price Q4 2019
Average house prices nationally fell annually for the first time since the economic recovery, the Q4 Irish Independent REA Average House Price Index has found.
The price of a three-bedroomed semi-detached house across the country fell by -0.6% over the past year after a 4.6% annual rise in 2018.
The average family home nationally now costs €234,704, the survey found – a drop of -0.1% on the Q3 figure of €235,009.
However, drops across the country are far lower than the preceding quarter (-0.4%), indicating that some confidence returned to the market in the final 13 weeks of the year, with the prospect of a resolution to Brexit uncertainty.
“We have seen a more stable quarter, with less negativity and 15 counties recording no movement in price. However, it has not been enough to keep the overall index in the positive against last year’s figures,” said REA spokesperson Barry McDonald.
“It is now taking ten weeks to reach sale agreed in Dublin city and county compared to eight a year ago, and these increases are reflected in commuter areas and out other major cities.”
The REA Average House Price Survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.
Three-bed semi-detached houses in Dublin city registered a fourth consecutive quarter fall (-0.6%) since the end of September and have decreased by -4.3% compared to December 2018.
The price of the average three-bed semi-detached house in the capital’s postcode districts now stands at €425,833 – down €20,000 from €445,167 a year ago.
“Although the Q3 prices falls that marked much Brexit indecision have eased slightly, we still saw the average house in South County Dublin fall by €2,700 (-0.7%) in the past three months – compared to €7,000 in the previous quarter,” said Mr McDonald.
“A significant increase in the supply of new and second hand housing in North County Dublin has seen prices drop by €5,000 on average in towns such as Swords, Skerries and Balbriggan.
“Despite the -1.6% Q4 fall to an average of €315,000, the north county area has fared better than any other Dublin market with an annual fall of -2.3% compared to a south county drop of -5.1% in 2019.
“The buyer now has a choice – even in the €200,000 to €300,000 band where properties are still continuing to sell, but at a slower rate.
“While sales are now taking longer, the condition of the property has now become a crucial factor due to the increasing cost of renovations.
“A trading up market is starting to appear in north Dublin, with people selling two and three bed semis that they bought at the beginning of the recovery, seven years ago.
City centre agents REA Grimes report that the first time buyer market is active, but that investors have moved out of the buying picture.
This mirrors a nationwide trend emerging of greater numbers of small landlords putting their properties on the market according to REA agents.
The absence of small investors due to Brexit uncertainty and a lack of incentives has also removed stimulus from the resales market and added to supply in many cases as landlords leave the market nationwide.
Prices fell slightly by -0.05% in the commuter counties in the past three months, with the average house now selling for €246,500 – an annual fall of 1%.
Prices in the country’s major cities outside Dublin – Cork, Galway, Waterford – remained largely unchanged, with an overall rise of 0.5% attributable to a €5,000 Q4 increase in Limerick due to a lack of supply.
Galway city average prices are at €282,500, unchanged annually. Asking price moderation is becoming crucial with over-priced properties sitting on the market for longer, according to agents McGreal Burke.
Elsewhere, Waterford City (€215,000) is up 2.4% on the year, and Cork City is up 0.8% annually to €317,500, with the market generally sluggish due to Brexit uncertainty and Central Bank lending restrictions at a relatively high purchase level.
The highest annual price increases (2.8%) were once again seen in the rest of the country’s towns which rose in selling price by an average of almost €5,000 in the past year and 0.3% in the past three months to €162,207.
Ireland’s highest percentage annual rise came in Longford, where prices grew 16.2% to €122,000, an increase of €2,000 (1.7%) on the September level, with properties taking just five weeks to sell.
The highest quarterly rise came in Sligo (3.8%) where, with market values at €137,000 still below build cost, demand is strong for available stock and prices have increased by 11.3% annually.
Where building is uneconomical, micro markets are forming around the country as buyers with access to finance battle over a restricted supply.
This is evident in Tralee, where agents REA Norths report that average three-bed prices increased by €10,000 (5.88%) in the final quarter of the year, due to an increase in available mortgage finance and a lack of suitable housing.
Where new homes are in place, in areas such as Drogheda, the market in second-hand homes has remained static as first-time buyers opt for modern builds and the support of the Help To Buy Scheme.

Anthony McGee appointed Chairman of REA
A Tallaght auctioneer has been appointed Chairman of national estate agency group Real Estate Alliance. Anthony McGee is Managing Director of REA McGee and was elected to the position during the Alliance’s AGM in Castleknock last week.
REA is Ireland’s leading property group of Chartered Surveyors with over 55 branches nationwide, comprising many of the country’s longest-established auctioneers and estate agents.
The AGM heard that the State needs to urgently incentivise small investors to stem the tide of private landlords leaving the rental market.
Real Estate Alliance (REA) members are reporting that small private landlords are exiting the market due to a combination of excessive taxation and the legislation involved in renting a house, which they find it difficult to deal with.
The association’s AGM heard that Rent Pressure Zones are not working with rents continuing to rise and available stock spiralling downwards.
“There are very new small private investors coming into the market, and society needs this sector to provide rental accommodation,” said Mr McGee.
“When you add up taxation and stealth taxes, agency fees, management fees and insurance there is no incentive for private landlords to remain in the market.
“What we are seeing are brow-beaten landlords who are exiting the market when they reach a point of equity parity in a property.
“The regulations are heavily biased in favour of institutional investors, which is why you see build to rents happening at the moment.
“There may be a feeling that with rents at an all-time high, that small investors are making money, but when they do the numbers and look at the taxation they are paying, many are deciding that it is not worth their while staying involved.
“It is doubtful whether the Rent Pressure Zones are actually working because we are seeing rents climbing far in excess of 4% per annum due to a severe shortage of rental properties.
“We are seeing instances where adjoining properties are renting for vastly different sums, and in our experience, some landlords are now finding it difficult to pay their mortgages.
“It is economically unfair that investors whose property becomes vacant cannot charge more than a 4% increase on the previous rent – even if it was set to an historically low level.
“The market is not functioning normally because tenants are renting places for a lot longer than they originally planned for due to the difficulties in raising the deposit for a property.
“As tenants struggle to pay the rent, wages are forced up and this is eroding the competitiveness of the economy – with many workers n ow leaving Ireland for other countries as they are finding it too expensive to live here.
“We need to take a new look at the rental problem – incentivise landlords and bring in measures to get people out of rental properties and into mortgages.
“Banks should be able to take into account that someone who has been paying €2,000 a month for the past ten years should qualify for a mortgage.”

Q3 House Prices County Wexford
The price of the average three-bed semi in County Wexford fell by 2.7% to €180,000 over the past three months, according to a national survey carried out by Real Estate Alliance.
Wexford prices also fell by 2.7% overall this year, the REA Average House Price Survey found.
The survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.
“The market is in a period of stabilisation after numerous quarters of growth,” said Robert McCormack of REA McCormack Corish in Wexford Town.
“Supply has increased, and demand is stable. We are seeing that Brexit is having a negative effect on sentiment.”
The price of the average three-bed semi-detached house in Wexford town fell this quarter by 2.7% to €180,000, and the average time on the market remained unchanged at six weeks.
“Prices remain stable in North Wexford. There is currently a limited supply of starter homes on the market, and many buyers are currently holding off buying due to Brexit. Well-presented properties are selling quickly,” said Winston Halnon of REA Halnon, Gorey.
The price for the average three-bed semi-detached house in Gorey remained unchanged this quarter at €225,000, and time on the market rose from six weeks to eight.
The average semi-detached house nationally now costs €235,009, the Q3 REA Average House Price Survey has found – a drop of 0.43% on the Q2 2019 figure of €236,028.
The price of a three-bedroom semi in Dublin’s postal zones fell by an average of €4,500 in the past three months as Brexit uncertainty affects buyers.
Three-bed semi-detached houses in Dublin city registered a third consecutive quarter fall (-1%) since the end of June and have decreased by -3.3% to €428,500 compared to September 2018.
Prices also fell by 1% in the commuter counties in the past three months, with the average house now selling for €246,611 – an annual fall of 0.7%.
After a year of rises to June, agents are citing an uncertainty surrounding Brexit hampering viewing numbers.
Prices in the country’s major cities outside Dublin – Cork, Galway, Waterford and Limerick – remained unchanged in the past three months.
“The highest annual price increases (3.3%) were once again seen in the rest of the country’s towns which rose in selling price by an average of €5,000 in the past year and 0.36% in the past three months to €161,724,” said REA spokesperson Barry McDonald.

Q3 House Prices County Westmeath
The price of the average three-bed semi in County Westmeath rose by 2.6% over the past three months the REA Average House Price Survey has found.
The survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.
“A large volume of our properties is being sold to owner occupiers this quarter,” said Donna Hynes of REA Hynes, Athlone.

Q3 House Prices Co. Leitrim
The price of the average three-bed semi in County Leitrim rose by 8.3% in the last year according to a national survey carried out by Real Estate Alliance.
Leitrim prices rose by 0.8% in the past three months to €123,500, the REA Average House Price Survey found.
The survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.
“We are seeing no real change from this quarter other than properties taking longer to sell,” said James Spring of REA Peter Donohoe in Carrigallen.
“There has been a noticeable slowing down of sales during this quarter across all property types. Supply to the market is currently good.”
The price of an average three-bed semi-detached house in Carrigallen was static this quarter at €90,000, and the average time to reach sale agreed rose from five weeks to eight.
“Prices continue to rise, but at a slower pace than we saw in previous quarters,” said Joe Brady of REA Brady, Carrick-on-Shannon.
“We are not seeing a lot of supply in the market. There is good take up for reasonably priced family homes. We feel there is still lots of headroom because we are currently selling at rates that are below the cost of construction.”
The price of the average three-bed semi-detached house in Carrick-on-Shannon rose by 1.2% to €157,000 this quarter, with average time on the market remaining at six weeks.
The average semi-detached house nationally now costs €235,009, the Q3 REA Average House Price Survey has found – a drop of 0.43% on the Q2 2019 figure of €236,028.
The price of a three-bedroom semi in Dublin’s postal zones fell by an average of €4,500 in the past three months as Brexit uncertainty affects buyers.
Three-bed semi-detached houses in Dublin city registered a third consecutive quarter fall (-1%) since the end of June and have decreased by -3.3% to €428,500 compared to September 2018.
Prices also fell by 1% in the commuter counties in the past three months, with the average house now selling for €246,611 – an annual fall of 0.7%.
After a year of rises to June, agents are citing an uncertainty surrounding Brexit hampering viewing numbers.
Prices in the country’s major cities outside Dublin – Cork, Galway, Waterford and Limerick – remained unchanged in the past three months.
“The highest annual price increases (3.3%) were once again seen in the rest of the country’s towns which rose in selling price by an average of €5,000 in the past year and 0.36% in the past three months to €161,724,” said REA spokesperson Barry McDonald.

“Although there is Brexit fear, we are still seeing good activity in the lower-priced ranges for starter homes and investor properties,” said Paul McElhinney of REA McElhinney in Milford.
“The current limited supply of houses along with an increasing demand for property have seen prices increasing across the county.

“With prices still not reaching construction costs, there are relatively no new developments to meet demand so the expectation would be a steady rise into the next quarter.”

price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date
picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to

but financing remains a problem. This quarter it is a little more difficult to
sell higher end properties, with Brexit causing uncertainty amongst buyers,” said
Harry Sothern of REA Sothern in Carlow Town.
The price of an average three-bed semi-detached home in Carlow
Town remained static this quarter at €177,000, with time on the market also
unchanged at eight weeks.

market for eight weeks at an average of €165,000.

Q3 2019 Average House Price Report
The price of a three-bedroom semi in Dublin’s postal zones fell by an average of €4,500 in the past three months as Brexit uncertainty affects buyers, the Q3 Irish Independent REA Average House Price Index has found.
The price of a three-bed semi-detached house in Dublin city registered a third consecutive quarter fall (-1%) since the end of June and has decreased by -3.3% compared to September 2018.
The price of the average three-bed semi-detached house in the capital’s postcode districts now stands at €428,500 – down from €443,333 a year ago.
A nationwide trend is emerging of greater numbers of small landlords putting their properties on the market according to REA agents.
“It is now taking nine weeks to reach sale agreed in Dublin city compared to six a year ago, and these increases are reflected around the country as agents report a quarter heavily influenced by Brexit indecision,” said REA spokesperson Barry McDonald.
“The Brexit effect is more pronounced, the higher up the market you go. For example, prices fell in South County Dublin by €7,000 (-1.7%) in the past three months to an average of €412,000.
“North County Dublin has fared reasonably better with drops of 0.8% in areas such as Swords, Skerries and Balbriggan with prices averaging €320,000.
“There has been a further 1% reduction in cash buyers in the Dublin market in the past three months, with mortgage-approved house hunters now making up 88% of purchasers.
“We are also seeing greater numbers of small investors leaving the rental market, which is increasing supply but will have a further upward pressure on rents in some areas.
“This, combined with new homes coming on stream, is increasing choice, but we still have a limited amount of buyers due to the Central Bank rules.”
An increase in the supply of second-hand properties on the market is highlighting the soaring cost of renovation works, according to Jim Gallagher of REA Grimes’ new Clontarf office.
"Stock levels are very high, which means that buyers have a much bigger choice than in previous years,” said Mr Gallagher.
"Properties in close to walk-in condition are achieving strong prices, however, the cost of building work has rocketed, and this is having an impact on demand and prices for properties that require renovation."
The REA Average House Price Survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.
The average semi-detached house nationally now costs €235,009, the Q3 REA Average House Price Survey has found – a drop of 0.43% on the Q2 2019 figure of €236,028.
Overall, the average house price across the country rose by just 0.08% over the past year after a 5.8% annual rise to September 2018.
Prices also fell by 1% in the commuter counties in the past three months, with the average house now selling for €246,611 – an annual fall of 0.7%.
After a year of rises to June, agents are citing an uncertainty surrounding Brexit hampering viewing numbers.
Agents are reporting Q3 price falls in Wicklow (-2%, €284,200), Louth (-2%, €200,000) and Meath (-1%, €237,500), while prices were static in Kildare at €282,000.
Westmeath reported a 2.5% rise in Q3 prices to €195,000, with a large volume of properties being sold in Q3, mostly to owner occupiers.
Prices in the country’s major cities outside Dublin – Cork, Galway, Waterford and Limerick – remained unchanged in the past three months.
However, time taken to sell has risen by 50% in a year, from six to nine weeks.
“Galway agents REA McGreal Burke report that the number of viewings is down as purchasers wait to see the outcome of Brexit negotiations, with sales taking ten weeks to complete compared to seven a year ago,” said Mr McDonald.
“Average prices are at €282,500, up 2.7% annually and supply has reduced a little, although there are a number of new developments coming to market.
“Elsewhere, Waterford City (€215,000) is up 4.9% on the year, Cork City is up 0.8% annually to €317,500 and Limerick is static over the past 12 months at €200,000.
“The highest annual price increases (3.3%) were once again seen in the rest of the country’s towns which rose in selling price by an average of €5,000 in the past year and 0.36% in the past three months to €161,724.
“However, like the major cities outside Dublin, our country towns report an annual increase in time taken to sell from six to eight weeks.”
Ireland’s cheapest three-bed semis are to be found in Donegal, where prices have risen by 4% to €99,000 in the past three months, after being static at €95,000 for the previous 18 months.
“Our agents REA McElhinney report that limited supply, combined with increasing demand in the lower price ranges, has driven increases across the county,” said Mr McDonald.
"Some of this may be driven by a small but steady rise in enquiries and sales to UK residents, not necessarily those who have roots here.
“However, the effect is reversed in other holiday homes areas such as Waterford and Cork, which are reporting higher than usual sales of homes by British residents.
“REA Celtic Properties in Bantry are reporting that Brexit has had a large effect on the market of coastal properties over €200,000, with prices static but the market slowing to an average selling time of 16 weeks.
“Longford again recorded the largest annual rise at 20%, with prices increasing from €100,000 to €120,000 in 12 months, and 2.6% since June.
“While the rate of increase has slowed, our agent REA Brady feels that it is still going to top 8% this year, albeit from a low base.
“There are no new builds in Longford and we are selling at rates that are still 40% below the cost of construction.

“North County Dublin has fared reasonably better with drops of 0.8% in areas such as Swords, Skerries and Balbriggan with prices averaging €320,000.
“There has been a further 1% reduction in cash buyers in the Dublin market in the past three months, with mortgage-approved house hunters now making up 88% of purchasers.
“We are also seeing greater numbers of small investors leaving the rental market, which is increasing supply but will have a further upward pressure on rents in some areas.
“This, combined with new homes coming on stream, is increasing choice, but we still have a limited amount of buyers due to the Central Bank rules.”
An increase in the supply of second-hand properties on the market is highlighting the soaring cost of renovation works, according to Jim Gallagher of REA Grimes’ new Clontarf office.
"Stock levels are very high, which means that buyers have a much bigger choice than in previous years,” said Mr Gallagher.
"Properties in close to walk-in condition are achieving strong prices, however, the cost of building work has rocketed, and this is having an impact on demand and prices for properties that require renovation."
The REA Average House Price Survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week.
The average semi-detached house nationally now costs €235,009, the Q3 REA Average House Price Survey has found – a drop of 0.43% on the Q2 2019 figure of €236,028.
Overall, the average house price across the country rose by just 0.08% over the past year after a 5.8% annual rise to September 2018.
Prices also fell by 1% in the commuter counties in the past three months, with the average house now selling for €246,611 – an annual fall of 0.7%.
After a year of rises to June, agents are citing an uncertainty surrounding Brexit hampering viewing numbers.
Agents are reporting Q3 price falls in Wicklow (-2%, €284,200), Louth (-2%, €200,000) and Meath (-1%, €237,500), while prices were static in Kildare at €282,000.
Westmeath reported a 2.5% rise in Q3 prices to €195,000, with a large volume of properties being sold in Q3, mostly to owner occupiers.
Prices in the country’s major cities outside Dublin – Cork, Galway, Waterford and Limerick – remained unchanged in the past three months.
However, time taken to sell has risen by 50% in a year, from six to nine weeks.
“Galway agents REA McGreal Burke report that the number of viewings is down as purchasers wait to see the outcome of Brexit negotiations, with sales taking ten weeks to complete compared to seven a year ago,” said Mr McDonald.
“Average prices are at €282,500, up 2.7% annually and supply has reduced a little, although there are a number of new developments coming to market.
“Elsewhere, Waterford City (€215,000) is up 4.9% on the year, Cork City is up 0.8% annually to €317,500 and Limerick is static over the past 12 months at €200,000.
“The highest annual price increases (3.3%) were once again seen in the rest of the country’s towns which rose in selling price by an average of €5,000 in the past year and 0.36% in the past three months to €161,724.
“However, like the major cities outside Dublin, our country towns report an annual increase in time taken to sell from six to eight weeks.”
Ireland’s cheapest three-bed semis are to be found in Donegal, where prices have risen by 4% to €99,000 in the past three months, after being static at €95,000 for the previous 18 months.
“Our agents REA McElhinney report that limited supply, combined with increasing demand in the lower price ranges, has driven increases across the county,” said Mr McDonald.
"Some of this may be driven by a small but steady rise in enquiries and sales to UK residents, not necessarily those who have roots here.
“However, the effect is reversed in other holiday homes areas such as Waterford and Cork, which are reporting higher than usual sales of homes by British residents.
“REA Celtic Properties in Bantry are reporting that Brexit has had a large effect on the market of coastal properties over €200,000, with prices static but the market slowing to an average selling time of 16 weeks.
“Longford again recorded the largest annual rise at 20%, with prices increasing from €100,000 to €120,000 in 12 months, and 2.6% since June.
“While the rate of increase has slowed, our agent REA Brady feels that it is still going to top 8% this year, albeit from a low base.
“There are no new builds in Longford and we are selling at rates that are still 40% below the cost of construction.
