Recent under-bidders likely to set pace for Glanmire hot spot

ALL you need is one good sale and suddenly an area can get intensely hot in property terms.

So it is in the hilly reaches of Glanmire in Cork, where a recent sale by private treaty went electric, leaving a number of under-bidders hanging and looking out for consolation properties.

The architect-designed, bungalow, Kilcool, built in the 1950s, comes on the market hot on the heels of its next-door neighbour, Wilderness, which started with a €550,000-plus price guide, and ended up making a whole lot more closer to €900,000, according to unconfirmed sources.
