When the sun shines in Ireland, we all want to make the most of it. That spirit is increasingly shaping what buyers are looking for in their next home. Across the country, we’re seeing growing interest in properties that offer that little bit extra: a space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the summer months from the comfort of home. In short, homes that double as your own personal staycation spot.
Over years, the expression ‘Swiss Army’ has been adapted as a prefix meaning something which can do more than one thing, after the famous multi-tool pocket knife now manufactured by the firm Victorinox and in much the way the brand Teflon has come to mean ‘that to which nothing sticks’.
As we move into May and the promise of summer begins to show, many homeowners across Ireland are starting to prepare their properties for the market.
Sherry FitzGerald, Ireland’s largest estate agent, reported today (Tuesday May 20th, 2025) that capital flows into the Irish property market totalled €28.7 billion in 2024. This represents a robust 13% increase on the €25.5 billion recorded in 2023. Improvements in capital spend were seen across the commercial and residential property sectors.
“Rising property prices, supply shortages, and geopolitical uncertainty intensify housing market pressures”
