Investments opportunities at O’Donnellan & Joyce spring auction

O’Donnellan & Joyce is gearing up its first auction of 2017 which will take place on March 3 with a large selection of family homes and investment properties on offer.

Colm O’Donnellan of O’Donnellan & Joyce says low interest rates and the allure of capital appreciation have made the property market more attractive to investors than equity markets of late.

Housing stock levels are at a 10 year low with the result that property prices, spurred by demand, should continue to rise as the rate of new builds is nowhere near meeting the current demand, he says.

"In turn, rents have risen with Daft.ie reporting that rents in Galway city rose 14 per cent above levels recorded eight years ago. In the same report, two bed apartments in Galway city were earning a rental yield of 7.6 per cent in 2016 and three bed semi-detached houses earning a 5.7 per cent yield.

“There is a tremendous selection of rental property on offer in our spring auction, with plenty of choice for the discerning investor.

"Galway always has a great demand for rental properties given its third level colleges, health services and the many business parks with multinational employers.”

Registration for the auction commences at 1pm in the Harbour Hotel, New Dock Road, Galway, on Friday March 3, and Colm O’Donnellan will start the auction proceedings at 2pm sharp. For those who cannot attend in person, the auction is streamed live online at www.odonnjoyce.com
