exposure to irish housing market
user
i was in a similar situation, and used fx trading to hedge against currency fluctuations. i bought the "new" currency when the ppp implied valuation of my "old" currency was high, and was able to protect quite a bit of purchasing power that i would have lost without the hedge. unfortunately you get taxed for the "gain" you made, but still helpful.   in terms of housing market, you could look into a ireland reit index, but it may not correlate well with the actual house prices you are looking for.
