Three-bed Kenmare homes selling for €130k

THE Kerry town once voted by Forbes Magazine as one of the Top Ten places worldwide to retire has houses cheap enough that even reduced pension retirees can aspire to.

The appointment of a receiver to a Kenmare development with 40 unsold units this weekend sees some prices chopped by over 50% for finished houses and apartments.

The decision to drastically cut prices in the town was taken given the number of unsold houses in Kenmare, with its permanent population of 2,000.
