Johnstown, Clonegal, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford – Auction Report

SOLD AUGUST 2026 – Charming Two Bedroom Traditional Cottage For Sale By Online Auction On Friday 14th August At 3pm

With property prices on an upward trajectory for some time, it is rare to find a residence guided at €50,000. Today’s auction offered a unique opportunity for first time buyers and investors to acquire a property in a price bracket that has become increasingly short of supply.

Auctioneer David Quinn said his office was “inundated with enquiries since the property was first advertised” and this translated into approximately fifteen registered bidders in time for the auction.

Unsurprisingly, there was competitive bidding on the day of the auction as the property promptly reached €85,000. From there, bidding continued steadily to €95,000 at which point the property was declared to be “on the market”. Following three further bids, the hammer was up at €101,000 but a last second bid of €103,000 briefly prolonged the auction. One further bid of €105,000 was enough to secure the property.

Speaking after the auction, Mr Quinn described “an excellent result” and added that his client was “very satisfied with the price achieved”. When asked for some details regarding the purchaser, he simply described them as “locally based”.
