‘Make an offer’ on last five houses
Offers around €140,000 are expected for three-beds, or €145,000 for a 1,176 sq ft, three-bed showhouse, ready to walk into: that’s a 50% drop from peak prices. The same duo have a detached, 1,640 sq ft, four-bed home (with a great, cedar-clad rear extension) for offers around €170,000, or a 1,879 sq ft, five-bed detached for €200,000. That’s the price of some three-bed, Co Cork semis.
Developer Pat Gleasure, and Pio Enright, of Fourcon Construction, are being bold on prices, as they are close to being ‘out the gap’ in the completed development, says Darragh Taaffe, of Keane Mahony Smith. He says the high finish quality is there to see, in a scheme that is fully developed. Buyers don’t have to take completion on trust, nor fear they are buying into a future ghost estate.
