Weekly Irish property market news and insights – for the industry,by the industry  

Before we get stuck into the general property news of the week, below are the local and international stories that might be of particular interest:

  • We are delighted to be involved in The National Property Awards 2024 for the third consecutive year.  This is fast becoming the highlight of Ireland’s property calendar, recognising not only excellence but also innovation across our industry. In addition to showing the best in construction and real estate, it is fantastic to see the award categories include sustainability, placemaking, CSR (incorporating social value), buyers’ agency and future leaders, which we are particularly excited about! Entries are now open and we look forward to showcasing and celebrating the very best of the built environment…https://nationalpropertyawards.ie/categories/

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

SUNDAY LISTEN – iProperty Radio

For anyone following the iProperty Radio journey over the past five years (we’re officially five years broadcasting in January 2024!), the growth in audience numbers, video watches and volume of engagements across our social media has been nothing short of phenomenal for a few weekly niche real estate and construction chats per week – our digital reach/impressions (different metrics on different channels) now consistently exceeds 1.2 million per month and regularly exceeds 1.5 million. There are now 13 different shows on the channel, from Ireland, mainland Europe, the UK, the US and Australia, with five of those focused on the Irish marketplace. As we approach our 5th birthday, we would like to thank all of our sponsors, guests and contributors, and you the industry for giving us your time and attention. We genuinely appreciate it and want to keep getting better for you. By way of a sneak preview, we have a super construction leaders series coming to the ‘Breaking Ground’ show for 2024…

This week on iPropertyRadio…

This week on #PropertyRoundup on iProperty Radio, I am joined by co-host, Emmet Creighton, Client Partnership Director with Daft.ie  in the AMOVE  offices in Kildare town where we sat down with directors Kathy Moran and Tanya Finn to look at the local property market trends. We also discuss the estate agency business throughout and post-Covid, changing careers and the importance of focusing on your property brand: https://amove.ie/

Also, the iProperty Radio team, in partnership with Daft.ie, will be travelling across the country in 2024, meeting estate agents and learning about rental and sales trends on the ground. If you would like to get involved in these ‘Property Roundup’ shows, email hello@ipropertyradio.com.
