Lowest ever price for a three bed end of terrace in Castle Park

Thu, Jun 25, 2009

On Friday July 24 O’Donnellan & Joyce will bring into the auction room a splendid three bed end of terrace house in Castle Park for the unbelievable price of €99,000. People have been calling the offices of O‘Donnellan & Joyce over the past few days asking if the price quoted was a misprint — they thought that there was a digit missing in the price quoted for this lovely property, and that it should read €199,000. However this is not the case and No 174 Castle Park is going into the auction room of O’Donnellan & Joyce on Friday July 24 at €99,000.

With all the doom and gloom associated with the property market nowadays, what a lovely lift it is for house hunters to see real value coming their way.
