Since the end of the first lockdown last year, auctioneers in Dungarvan have noticed some quite dramatic changes in the mix of buyers who want to own a home in the “sunny southeast”. 

In addition to the local buyers and holiday home hunters that would have been the norm, they are now seeing increased demand from locals leaving cities in Ireland and abroad, coming to work from home where the scenery is better and the property is cheaper.
