Starter Home: Ballincollig, Co Cork, €195,000

This two-bedroomed apartment in Ballincollig is attracting a lot of interest from a wide range of buyers — first-timers, downsizers and investors.

WHEN the owners of 24 Old Quarry in Ballincollig got a bid of the €195,000 asking price for their home after the first viewing, they must have thought it was Christmas and not Easter.

Selling agent Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald says that 15 viewers, a mix of first time buyers, downsizers, and investors turned up for that first open viewing of the two bed apartment last week and that continued interest is expected.
