Growth in property prices varying widely in Cork county

Property prices are growing in all markets in Cork county but the rates of inflation are varying widely. It is a simple case of employment proximity: the closer to Cork City, the sharper the growth.

Commuter towns in the immediate city area are witnessing growth of more than €100,000 in the last five years but further out, particularly in the very west and north of the county, inflation is less than half that of these areas.
