The Harsh Reality of Finding a Rental in Galway (2025)
If you're reading this, you've probably already experienced it firsthand. You send out 20, 30, maybe 50 emails to landlords on Daft.ie. You refresh the site every hour. You craft what you think is a decent message.
And you get... nothing. Radio silence.
Here's the thing: It's not you. It's your email game.
You can't control Galway's housing crisis. You can't magically create more supply. You can't lower rents (which hit an average of €1550 per month in Galway). But you CAN control how you present yourself in that landlord's inbox.
The Numbers: Galway's Rental Crisis in 2025
Let me hit you with some stats:
280 Rentals Available
Limited supply in Galway means fierce competition for every property.
€1550/Month Average Rent
Rental costs continue to rise in Galway.
80-120 Responses Per Listing
The average Daft.ie listing in Galway gets flooded with emails within the first 24-48 hours.
Translation: You're competing against dozens (or hundreds) of other people for every single property. And 90% of those people are sending the exact same boring email as you.
