House hunters getting more "bang for their buck" locally. House buyers are opting to purchase in the wider east Cavan area. This is due to the fact they can commute and they get 'extra bang for their buck'.
That's according to Donal Keenan from Keenan Auctioneers in Kingscourt.
Moreover, Donal says there is a lot of demand for the likes of Mullagh and Bailieboro with the proximity to the M3/N3.
Kingscourt then with direct access to the likes of Navan to join the M3 is also proving popular with people trying to get on the property market.
The government grant via Croi Conaite has been a game changer.
Donal says there are some derelict properties locally that would never have come to the market or sold only for the government grant.
The Co Cavan auctioneer says the reality is that new houses are needed and needed badly. Ronan Gargan spoke to Donal Keenan about the property market in the area.
