Ireland's most expensive properties sold in 2021

The most valuable home sold in Cork last year was the Rocket House — a former coastguard station in the West Cork village of Castletownshend — which fetched over €2.5m.

The residential property market bounced back last year following the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, with the value of houses and apartments sold up 21%.

An analysis of the Residential Property Price Register shows the total value of all homes sold during 2021 was more than €19.6bn — an annual increase of €3.4bn.
