Bargains galore in the high-end house market

Tommy Barker rounds up some of the movers and shakers in an otherwise depressed year on the domestic property front

HOUSE sales stayed slow in 2011, but there were some notable transactions, and some spirited bidding and happy buyers and sellers alike in the mid and upper-markets.

In Kerry, one of the top sales was Mori House, a 2,600 sq ft modern early-2000s five-bed home, sold at one time for circa €900,000, and making circa €520,000 by late 2011 via Tadg Gallivan.
