Quality home in excellent condition

The drop in price for this quality may suit those who have waited. Tommy Barker reports

A BIG house from top to bottom — that’s price-reduced 7 Abbottswood, a six-bed family home built in the last decade in Cork’s Rochestown.

Estate agent Jeremy Murphy now guides this three-storey brick-faced home at €525,000, showing a big reduction from the boom period when these big homes were in the €1 million-plus price league, and showing the sort of 50% drop from peak that this week’s depressing Myhome, Daft and Sherry FitzGerald surveys indicated.
