A look back at a year in the Cork residential property market

Despite some absolute stunners coming to market in Cork, at €2.75m (Ellerslie in Douglas) and €3.8 million (Woodlawn in Sunday’s Well), not a single, solitary Cork City home appears to have broken the €1m threshold in the year just ending. Over 260 Irish houses topped €1m in the 10 months to October - but less than 20 were outside Dublin.
There, top seller for 2014 was a Blackrock home, Deepwell, making €7.9m via Sherry FitzGerald, who also got €6m for Blessingtown, Co Wicklow estate, Boycestown House, the most expensive country sale of the year.
