LAST year I wrote about the Cork property market showing its mettle in these end of year pages: little did I know, just how hard our society would be tested within a few short months. Like our society, our property market has shown exceptional composure and resolve in the past nine months to meet the challenges foisted upon it in 2020. When we think about the open market in property, we consider the effect of interest rates, mortgage availability, cost of renting and employment figures.
