Property for Sale in Ireland

Ireland has become a very desirable spot to live in. Ireland’s desirability comes at a cost. Increasing wealth, resulting from the Celtic Tiger boom years has pushed property prices up to one of the highest levels in Europe. Consequently, property in Ireland is not cheap. A recent International Monetary Fund study revealed that Irish house prices are overvalued by 10-20%. It’s almost impossible to find a house in Dublin, the city’s capital for under €200,000.

Ireland has recently witnessed an upsurge in the number of investors buying holiday homes in some of the country’s most scenic areas.

Dublin being Irelands capital is obviously popular and more expensive than the countryside for real estate. Southern and western coasts of Cork, Waterford and Kerry are popular for foreign buyers with convenience to the airports. Language is mostly English speaking with Gaelic still one of two official languages. Ireland is also popular for holiday homes.
