YouTube hit may help in selling this House Outside

THE Irish property market might have gone down the U-bend, but YouTube could well have come to the rescue of a distressed Irish house seller... if her bank allows.

Writer Jillian Godsil used the site to find a quick buyer for her beautifully restored period house in the winsomely titled and picturesque village of Shillelagh, Wicklow.

An enterprising Ms Godsil put the former dream family home, Raheengraney House, up for sale in March and released the details via a viral video on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media sites.
