This week the series drops well below the €200,000 mark, with two properties in Co Galway coming to the market for under €150,000. At this level, buyers are typically taking on a project, and both homes reflect that, offering scope for refurbishment in exchange for a lower entry point.
Both are on the market with Sherry FitzGerald Madden in Loughrea.
A detached house at Killeen North, Ballyshrule, near Portumna, comes to the market with an asking price of €120,000. Extending to about 95 sq m, the property sits on a 0.71ac site in a rural setting, with space around the house offering potential for a range of uses.
Inside, the house includes two bedrooms along with a number of reception rooms and a kitchen at ground floor level. The layout is typical of an older rural dwelling, with separate rooms rather than an open-plan design. While it is structurally in place, it requires refurbishment throughout and carries a BER rating of G, reflecting the level of work involved.
The site offers scope for further development, subject to planning, and could suit a buyer looking to combine a renovation with additional outdoor space. Located in a quiet part of the county, the property is around 6km from Killimor, where a bus stop is serviced by Kearns Transport with routes to Galway city.

A three-bedroom bungalow at Clostoken, near Loughrea, is also on the market, with an asking price of €145,000. The property extends to just under 100 sq m and sits on a site of approximately 0.3ac, making it more compact in comparison.
Accommodation is arranged across a single floor and includes a living room, kitchen, dining room and three bedrooms. While the bungalow also requires upgrading, its layout may appeal to buyers looking for a more manageable project without the need for major structural changes.
The house sits within a defined site with space to the front and rear, giving some scope for outdoor use without being difficult to maintain. Clostoken is located around 6km from Loughrea, while a bus stop approximately 1km from the property is served by Healy Bus with routes to the University of Galway.
In contrast to the Portumna property, it offers a smaller site but benefits from closer proximity to a larger town and more accessible transport links.
