Homes in Ireland under $1M

At $1 million Ireland's full market opens except for Dublin's prime postcodes (Dalkey, Ballsbridge, Ranelagh). You can buy a renovated Georgian in Kilkenny, a large detached family home in the Cork suburbs with a west-facing garden, a period townhouse in Galway's west end, or a country house on two acres in Wicklow. Dublin 4 or 6 still out of reach for anything with real square footage, but Dublin 14 and 16 work for a four-bed semi. Buyers at this level are typically relocating families or retirees cashing out US coastal homes. Stamp duty is 1% on this bracket and property taxes stay low — total cost of ownership is friendlier than California.
