O’Donnellan & Joyce reported a strong turnout to the first week of open viewings after the launch of its Wild Atlantic Way July property auction.
The auction will be held at the Harbour Hotel, New Dock Road, Galway, on Friday July 20 with properties going under the hammer in counties Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Limerick, Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon. This auction promises a great selection of private homes, residential and commercial investment properties, and even land on Bere Island, County Cork.
Colm O’Donnellan commented that there was “a great attendance at the open viewings over the fine weekend”. The demand for good family homes is still particularly strong, given the lack of supply of new homes being built.
Hugh O’Donnellan of O’Donnellan & Joyce’s auction team said the team were “busy with enquiries for all the properties on open view”. He added: “The sunshine brought viewers out in force and there was particularly strong interest from families looking to trade up to larger homes.”
Viewing times have been established and full details are on www.myhome.ie, www.daft.ie, and odonnjoyce.com Some of the Galway properties of particular interest to viewers over the weekend were as follows:
