Property Focus: Ever-popular Kenmare continues to attract buyers

The South Kerry town has seen a surge of bidders from Ireland and beyond in 2021

Although UK buyers stopped coming after Brexit, he says they have been back househunting in the area this year.

While Kenmare has always been a popular place to own a holiday home, the south Kerry town has this year seen an influx of buyers coming from Ireland, Europe, and beyond to purchase properties for a whole variety of reasons.

Sean Daly of Sherry FitzGerald Daly says a high percentage of demand is coming from older people who are downsizing in cities and want to move full-time or part-time to Kenmare or to spend holidays there.
