Huge price hike over two years shows heat of the housing market

THERE has been just one house sale so far at Silverlands, in the newish Maryborough Woods estate and that result netted a sale price of €450,000 two years ago through James G Coughlan and Associates.

This time round, number 3, Silverlands is on the market with Sean McCarthy of Downey McCarthy Murphy for wait for it €650,000.

If there was an example needed for the astronomic price increases in the Cork property market, then this is as good as any.
