Price drop may seal deal

MIGHT a price reduction put the letter ‘d’ at the end of Villa Sol, turning it into Villa Sold?

It has been quite a while on and possibly off the market: think coming up to five years, and that’s a whack of time for a 5,000 sq ft Rochestown Cork home, with swimming pool, on over an acre.

Back when first marketed, in spring 2006, this big 1980s house built to a high level by a German businessman, had a €2.6 million asking price, and had interest over the €2m figure at the time.
