about an hour ago
House prices rose during the first quarter of the year as lockdown measures negatively impacted the available stock of properties for sale throughout the country, according to estate agent Sherry FitzGerald.
The average value of second-hand homes increased by 1.5 per cent in the opening three months of 2021. This compares to an increase of 0.1 per cent in the first quarter of 2020.
Furthermore, prices have increased by 2.5 per cent in the twelve months to the end of the first quarter.

Garden
Today it is in turnkey condition and behind the redbrick façade are bright high-end interiors. Inside the front door lies a spacious open-plan livingroom, which in turn leads to the eat-in kitchen. A large window set into the roof over the white marble island bounces lots of light into this space, as do the double sliding doors that open out on to the garden.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, and the principal has lovely features including a vaulted ceiling and round window, which is also found in the generous bathroom.
To the rear is a small courtyard garden which benefits from a southerly orientation. The tall cherry blossoms from next door give the appearance of greater lushness and are particularly lovely when viewed from the bathroom upstairs.
