Has anyone viewed these?

Nice houses, but you'd really want to live in Churchtown to fork out €1m for them.
The problem for this development is that €1m buys you an awful lot of choice (and more desirable areas) now.

True, but it's been months since the last reduction and seemingly no takers (well they haven't declared any of them sale agreed anyway) so another drop is going to have to come. I would think that they'd see interest around the 750-800k levels, even if they had to take lower than that again, given the fact that the 3-bed on Woodside supposedly went sale agreed at €740k needing complete renovation, and its half the size of these. Obviously these houses will never achieve Woodside prices given the lack of garden, but they are great houses with a high level of finish.

2 of the remaining 3 houses have sold signs in their windows.

The final remaining house apparently is close to sold also so there is unlikely to be another price drop.

I live in this area and have seen the sold signs. I also saw an incredible amount of viewing activity when the prices dropped to €1mil so would imagine they achieved fairly close to the asking. I never viewed any of the houses myself - I would consider the garden not in the slightest family friendly.

Oh, interesting. I just assumed by the fact they're still marketing them as "3, 4, 5, Castle Avenue" with no mention of any of them being sale agreed that they had all failed to attract interest yet again at this price. I would still have thought that due to the gardens, the houses would have warranted a price a good bit lower than the asking given the fact that they are family homes. Unless, of course, some single people have bought the 3,600sqft homes!

I saw these when the price was dropped to 995 and at the time I was told by the agent that the best of the three (ie the most finished and one with the marginally better garden ) had an offer of 840. Not sure if it went anymore than that. Assuming it went sale agreed for around that I'd guess the other 2 went for 50-100 less ( to allow for additional cost of finishing and possibly because gardens are marginally smaller).

I passed there yesterday and there seemed to be a fair bit of activity – tradesmen in doing underfloor heating etc so no reason to suggest these sales won’t go through (if they have not already as alluded to above)

Whilst the back gardens are small the spec of the houses is excellent and there is a lot of room out the front for small kids to play around. The houses are nicely tucked in and it feels very peaceful beside the golf course.

Best of luck to the purchasers!

#2 now for sale asking 1.25M

http://www.myhome.ie/1967771

there must have heard about the SCD prices rises

Lisney's have been trying to see this off-market for a few months with no success obviously.

When I pointed out to the Lisney idiot that the 1.25 million asking price was nearly 300,00 more than the asking price of the other houses, he started talking about all the improvements and appliances the owner had invested in.

Still, pity the seller who gets talked about here.

Unbelievable, these struggled to sell at 800k to 900k now they are looking €1250k

Can I have the receipts to prove €300k of improvements in the last 6 months.

All I can say,"move along there is better value elsewhere"

appears to be strange pricing strategy - only possible advantage to timing of sale after the others sold (assuming sales went through) is the comfort buyer may get in knowing others sold. Garden is better on this one and finish probably a bit better but would think 950 or so might be clearing price assumming demand has not been satiated by sale of other 3 and there is a would be vendor with that kind go dough.

Another gone...

Could be suprised depending on price

Edited. BTW Good luck to the buyer and seller

Take a look at the Bing map of the houses:

Does anyone know what that Tower Of Babel-like structure is at the bottom centre of the screen?

Crematorium, tandoori oven or pottery works??

Its a lime kiln. Popular around these parts esp in Limekiln Estate in Terenure / Greenhills / West Templeogue.

Owen.

If they got anything near the asking, I will be speechless.
