The notion that when it rains it pours certainly seems to be in vogue in certain parts of Ireland as homeowners, already faced with negative equity, spiralling mortgage repayments and relentless interest rates, now have to deal with a plague of pyrite.

It's a versatile colour that can be used in different tones and with a variety of other colours to create very diverse looks. It's uplifting, fizzy and crispy, whether you want to achieve a sharp architectural look with blocks of colour on feature walls, or a soft, serene space with a wrap-around pale shade.

This came in the form of roughly a one per cent increase in the rental yield landlords are receiving. This week, however, the picture has become slightly clearer as to where this increase is being felt and, as always, those homes that can offer the most by way of location are the ones that are most in demand.

A report from the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) is showing that 9,000 jobs in the sector have been lost in 2009 and a further 3,600 related jobs are affected. This, according to the report, will put immense pressure on the exchequer in the form of a €162m annual social welfare payout. Competing with this grim reading is the news that the rent yield in the private rental market has increased for the first time in over two years.

This, it is argued, is just and fair because if the Government is forking out billions from taxpayers' money to help out financial institutions and developers then they should also help out the average mortgage holder who is struggling under the weight of negative equity and fixed mortgage repayments.

It is in time of difficulty that people are really tested and their inner qualities shine through. It is also in time of necessity that innovation rules supreme and invention leads the way. Considering the current challenges facing the property market then it would be safe to say that new ideas are greatly needed and a new market must emerge rather than a revamp of the original one which will, inevitably, run into the same old problems.

Activity levels stagnated across virtually all sectors, while capital values continued to fall. For those whose livelihood depends directly on the property sector, survival was the name of the game."

Waiting in a queue, waiting at the doctor's office, waiting for the bus; it's something that we instinctively do. Waiting, however, for a house can be a very long process indeed. In the run up to Christmas, the importance of the home is much highlighted. It is the focal point of Christmas celebrations and almost becomes an extension of the family for the festive season.

While many people buy property on a portfolio basis, a calculated investment on financial terms rather than a decision of the heart, most people look at buying a property as buying a home, a place to live, and a place to, potentially, raise a family. In this case, the attachment people feel to their homes is real.

It is the need from which other needs spring. It is fundamental to a functional society and owning one's own home has always been a key part of the Irish psyche. To lose your home can be devastating. To be forced to move can have long-lasting effects. Last week we saw some of the worst flooding ever to hit Cork. Areas that had previously never been flooded were under many feet of water.

The finger has pointed at almost every sector of the industry at some point and it keeps on going. Everything is so interlinked, however, that blame, if we are to call it that, should be apportioned to everyone. The banks lent money, the people took it and spent it, swelling the market, the builders built and the speculators speculated. One question in all this though is what exactly the planners were doing while everyone else lost the run of themselves?
