Stunning rural family home sells for nearly double the asking as housing prices soar

A new report on Ireland’s housing crisis has shown prices increasing once again with the average cost of a Dublin three-bed reaching €403,000.

This four bedroom home in Tipperary is no different with up to one hundred people bidding against one another for a chance at owning it.

The stunning detached family home was put on the market at €200,000 and ended up being scooped after the two-hour bidding war by one person who offered €143,000 more than that.

According to the auctioneers: “The property provides a large detached four bedroom house from gardens to the front and rear,” and “is arranged over ground and first floor beneath a pitched roof with off street parking available.

The property extends to approximately 344 sq. m (3,702 sq. ft) and located on a site area extending to approximately 0.40 hectares (0.98 acres).
