61 homes sell in Laois in February though sharp decrease expected in March

House Prices are on the rise
House Prices

A total of 61 homes sold in Laois in February ahead of the Coronavirus pandemic, according to figures on the Property Price Register. 

The most expensive sale recorded was in Kilnacourt Woods in Portarlington for €1.7 million – though it is understood this is for a number of properties in that estate.

After that there was a home in Roskelton, Mountrath, sold for €411,500 while one on the Mountrath Road was sold for €405,000.

The 61 properties sold equals the record for February since the Property Price Register began tracking sales in this manner in 2010. 61 properties were also recorded as sold in February 2016.

The February figures came in just before the Coronavirus restrictions took hold on the country in March – and a significant decrease is expected in recorded sales in March and particularly in April.

There are can be some slight anomolies in the Property Price Register but it is still seen as one of the main guages of residential property activity.

The price listed is exclusive of VAT for new builds that are sold while if there is land also sold with the house, the overall sale price that is recorded is reduced to exclude a portion of the land.

In addition, some of the sales can be a couple of months behind in being recorded.

Incidentally, the lowest price recorded for a property in Laois in this month was in Ashewood Walk in Portlaoise at €18,650. This is understood to be an incorrect entry.

The sale of 61 properties in Laois in February compares to 59 in the same month in 2019 and 51 in 2018.
