Kenmare movement

IT WAS a successful run of auctions for Kerry’s Tom Spillane last week — at readjusted, ‘new-market’ values.

The sales include a prime development site, plus four former S23 holiday homes, which had been viewed by over 200 value-minded prospective bidders, and all four houses sold after active bidding at prices from €64,000 to €78,000.

Mr Spillane sold a well-set town centre site of 0.4 of an acre which had once made up part of an ambitious site assembly for redevelopment. Now, it is likely to have been acquired for future town centre uses, when the market recovers.
