  1. Best to ignore prices in the most expensive part of the country.

    Ask instead why you need €350k for a fixer upper in a rough area just outside the M50.

  2. But it’s in dalkey.

    There’s a larger chance, if you live here, that you neighbour will be an insufferable arrogant prick…. which is….. good?

  4. I think this is a bullshit listing. Which is to say that I don’t think they think it will sell, but for some weird reason that I don’t understand, they’ve put it up for sale

  5. You’d have to be mad to buy that 1 bed even if you had the money and wanted to live specifically in this part of Dublin

  6. Doesn’t a storyteller live in this house? Biddy I think is her name. She had a podcast where she told stories and always said the house with the half door in the intro. Think tourists pop in there

  7. It looks like a house from a children’s TV show.

    This is where Mr McDougal the town blacksmith lives with his wife Mrs McDougal. Let’s all wave to Mr and Mrs McDougal 👋🏻

  8. There are bigger and better properties in Dalkey for that kind of money. This is 100% priced by sentiment. You can see it in the description, the seller goes on about his father spending years renovating it. Inside it basically looks like a rustic Connemara style cottage, except it’s in Dalkey.

    I’d say he’s hoping to capture some American with more money than sense, rub shoulders with the Irish elite in your traditional Irish cottage like you’re in the Banshees or something.

    On a price per sq metre basis, properties do tend to get more expensive as they get smaller. So a 200sqm house is not four times the price of a 50sqm one.

    But this is on a whole other level. The national average is around €4k/sqm. €5-6k/sqm probably normal enough for a 50sqm cottage in the right area.

    This one comes in at an insane €24k/sqm. I wonder is this the most expensive property in the country on that basis?
