House of the week: Cork City, €170,000

Size: Sq m 71 (770 sq ft)

Pent-up house buying demand has given comfort to the builders and selling agents of a seven-home Cork City development called Evergreen Close, as they launch sales unseasonally — but very optimistically — in late November.

Two of the seven house are reserved, all will be built and ready for occupation in late May, and it’s expected the five still available will be taken up in rapid order, predict auctioneers Jeremy Murphy and Mark Gosling.
