Top-tier coastal homes grab limelight
Schull Point is under offer at close to its €1.85 million with AMV via agents Savills and H Property, with both national and international live inquiries.
Headline-grabbing sales of high-end coastal properties continue to give the impression that anything by or on the sea commands a price premium and flies out the door – but that’s not necessarily the case in the wider picture.
Just as sectors of the domestic Irish house market are showing signs of a cooling off – or, at least a reduction in the annual pace of price inflation (6.2% nationally year to May, or 7.3% excluding Dublin) – so too it is in the case of coastal listings … regular users of property websites (and neighbours) will have noted even well-set houses by the sea sitting for months on the open market, even up to a year in some cases.
