BUYERS, be brave – you’ll be the real winners at Waterfall’s Earls Well development – getting the best new homes, bar none, built in Cork (if not all of Munster) in decades. And, you’re being offered them for a bargain, value for money price.

HEATHERFIELD at Waterfall in Co Cork saw prices in excess of €1.1 million in the boom, but along with the market, this scheme of stand-alones has been chastened in the gloom.

AT €185,000 each, these detached homes at Boherboy, Cahirciveen, Co Kerry, compete quite favourably with holiday home prices in the Ivereagh peninsula, even though the target buyer is the owner/occupier.
