Good News For Property Hunters In Carrigaline
There was some good news for property hunters in Carrigaline last week as new research from Perfect Property, Ireland’s innovative property search engine, showed prices dropping across Cork, including in Carrigaline.
The Average ‘sold price’ of a house in Cork in H1 2018 was €286,501 while in H1 2019 the average price was €264,552 – an 8% decrease, whilst in Carrigaline specifically there was a 6% drop in the same period.

This research was carried out by search platform Perfect Property, which features properties from a range of estate agents.
Commenting on the recent figures, Laura Pollard, Managing Director of Perfect Property, said: “Our research shows a very dynamic housing market in Cork, with considerable regional variation in sold prices. Reviewing achieved sold prices, rather than listing prices, is key to understanding the true state of the market. While Cork is down 8% as a whole, the lack of growth has not been experienced in all areas, with Youghal, Macroom, Kanturk and Blarney showing an increase in sold prices, so the research has produced varied and interesting results.” www.perfectproperty.ie
