New Homes: Sales steadily rising nationwide, Munster notably strong
“Prices have been creeping up over the year and a buyer focus on affordability is now becoming evident. For example, people who would have gone for a 4-bedroom before are now going for a 3-bedroom house,” say estate agents.
Sales of new homes are on the increase across the country, with many agents in Munster reporting a clear numerical effect in the last six months or so.
“We’ve had a very busy year,” says Elizabeth Hegarty, Associate Director at Savills New Homes in Cork. “We’ve had some schemes coming to an end but more of them coming to market, so it’s been a very busy year for us, to be honest. We’re probably going to end up north of 300 sales of new homes this year, I would say.
