    5 of the most romantic homes for sale on MyHome.ie this St Valentine’s Day

    by

    Home is where the heart is, or so they say, so what better way to impress the love of your life than by cosying up in your dream home for St Valentine’s Day.
    With that in mind, the team at MyHome.ie have put together a list of five of the most romantic properties which caught our eye on the site right now.

    True some of them may be a tad pricey and beyond the budget of most of us, but there’s no harm dreaming of that idyllic place to spend some quality time with your loved one.

    The Castle…

    We’ve all heard the story of Rapunzel being rescued from her tower by her prince and if you’ve hair long enough you can try to recreate that scene at the stunning Ballindoolan House in Carbury, Co Kildare. This luxurious Georgian country manor has a castle on its extensive grounds and while it has seen better days, you won’t be disappointed by the main house or gardens.

    The Penthouse…

    Few things scream romance like a penthouse apartment with a stunning view. This particular example in Malahide, Co Dublin overlooks Malahide Castle and Gardens. With so much more on its doorstep, this ticks a lot of boxes on the romantic front.

    The Waterfront…

    There’s few things more romantic than watching the sun go down with a loved one. Where better to do that than in a stunning waterfront property like this one in Co Cork which boasts coastal views across the Lough. The 5 bed house also offers complete privacy within a mix of beautiful mature trees and shrubs.

    The Saint…

    This 2 bed apartment in Dublin 2 might not appear the most romantic of homes at first glance but with property it’s all about location, location, location. Situated on Whitefriar Street, it’s just a few hundred metres away from Whitefriar Street Church where the shrine and relics of St Valentine rest. Irish Carmelite John Spratt brought the remains of St Valentine back to the church in 1836 and people have flocked to see them in the last half a century since they were returned to prominence.

    The cottage…

    Nothing says old style romance like a traditional cottage. This one in Co Kerry not only offers somewhere cosy to cuddle up with a loved one but it also benefits from its close proximity to beaches, lakes, mountains and much more.

      Prospective homebuyers still confident about buying despite Covid-19 impact

      by

      71% of potential buyers are planning on purchasing a property in the next year
      40% expect property prices to fall by up to 10% in the next year
      76% believe the Government could do more to help the property sector
      73% feel safe viewing properties at present
      Prospective homebuyers are still confident about their ability to buy despite resilient house prices and the ongoing effect of Covid-19 to the economy, according to a new survey from MyHome.ie.
      The survey suggests that 71% of prospective buyers are still planning on buying a new property in the next year. This compares with 68% of prospective buyers who were surveyed last May.
      However, consumer opinion regarding house prices has changed since the summer. Now, just 13% of survey respondents believe property prices will fall by over 10% in the next year, whereas last May 37% of consumers predicted that outcome.
      Four in ten consumers now believe that prices will fall by up to 10% in the next year, while half of all respondents believe next year will represent a good time to buy property.
      The survey of 2,716 people also found that three-quarters (76%) of respondents believe the Government could do more to help the property sector.
      The virus is expected to have significant long-term effects, with 61% of respondents believing it will lead to more online processes in general to minimise unnecessary contact. Meanwhile, 23% believe it will lead to quicker sales processes in general.
      In a boost to the sector, 73% of respondents to the survey said they felt safe viewing properties at present.
      Angela Keegan, Managing Director of MyHome.ie, said that the findings reflected the ongoing demand that was evident in the market.
      “Even though consumers have not seen the price drops that many predicted when Covid-19 emerged, demand has stayed strong throughout Q2 and Q3. It appears that many prospective buyers have not been hit by the economic fallout from Covid-19. MyHome.ie had its busiest ever month for website traffic last July, and this is reflected in the fact that seven out of ten respondents are planning on purchasing a property in the next year.”
      However, Ms Keegan warned that it was crucial that construction activity be allowed to continue in the coming months.
      “Our analysis shows that stock levels are down by 22% year-on-year, which is concerning. A healthy, functioning property market needs a good balance of supply and demand, and as such we need to see construction continue unimpeded over the winter if at all possible.” More

      Fore of the best golfing homes on the market right now

      by

      News broke this week that the Ryder Cup had been postponed until September 2021 in the hope that crowds will be able to attend the bi-yearly team event between Europe and the USA.
      While that gives our captain Padraig Harrington more time to prepare for the trip to Whistling Straits, it also means that Adare Manor in Limerick will have the honour of hosting the event’s centenary in 2027.
      Golf was among the first sports to return as we came out of lockdown but for a fortunate few, they were able to practice their putting even when the country was shutdown due to Covid-19.
