Market signals better times

THE level of property activity is definitely well up on last year, according to Pat Crean of Sherry FitzGerald Stephenson Crean Property Management & Sales Advisors.

“It may be different to national trends, but we are seeing a definite return to the relative safety of bricks and mortar as a better investment option for these uncertain times,” Mr Crean says.

“People are starting to see the value in property now that prices have come back to very attractive levels. We have had a very good year in places like Ballyheigue, Castlegregory and Dingle, with levels of interest and activity beating the national trend and based on reasonable prices.

“People are buying as part of a long-term lifestyle choice — they want an investment security that beats money on deposit or stock market shares.”

Pat underlines the value of the Sunny Beach development at Ballinskelligs consisting of nine detached dormer bungalows enclosed in a small cluster style and offering accommodation that includes four-bedroom with one ensuite, kitchen/dining space and living room.

Sea and mountain views are enhanced with timber floors and oil fired central heating in a stunning setting. These properties are just 120 metres from Ballinskelligs beach, an ideal location with windsurfing, sea angling, diving, plus the world famous Waterville golf club nearby.
