Loreto Park dilemma: semi-d, or a big detached

WAY back at the height of our property intoxication, four-bed semi-ds in the southern Cork city suburb of Douglas were making €500,00-€600,000 each.

Today, a typical example, no 29 Loreto Park is on the market at €330,000 – way down on boom levels.

And while all of this is in the past, it’s a good indication of the 45% drop that applies out there in the market at the moment.
