Houses for Sale in Macroom: Listings, Prices, Agents

MyHome.ie listings: 31 · Average asking price: €303,450 · Price growth (YoY): 6.8% · New-build premium: 30.2%

The table below consolidates verified market data from multiple listing portals and property-analytics sources, giving buyers a single reference point for Macroom pricing benchmarks.

3 bedroom houses for sale in Macroom

Three-bedroom properties show up regularly across Macroom’s listing portals. On MyHome.ie, a 113 m² semi-detached house at 26 Oakridge, Meadowlands is asking €295,000 — a mid-market option that fits the town’s typical buyer profile. The asking price sits below the Macroom average of €303,450, making it accessible for first-time buyers.

Daft.ie carries scattered 3-bed options across the broader Macroom area, though the portal aggregates listings by town rather than sub-region. Searchers browsing Macroom itself will find the strongest inventory concentration on MyHome.ie, where agents actively list properties from Chapel Hill to Meadowlands.

The pattern across these listings: semi-detached dominates, with detached 3-beds commanding a premium that can push asking prices toward the €350,000–€400,000 range. Buyers focused on 3-beds should treat MyHome.ie as their primary hunting ground, with Daft.ie as a secondary check for newer listings or properties just entering the market.

What this means: a 3-bed in Macroom offers solid value compared to Cork city, where equivalent properties regularly fetch 40–50% more. The trade-off is a smaller local labor market and fewer amenities, but for remote workers or those with established ties to West Cork, the economics favor the town.

Available listings

The 26 Oakridge, Meadowlands listing (P12EK77) represents the most clearly priced 3-bed currently active on MyHome.ie. At €295,000 for 113 m², it works out to roughly €2,611 per square meter — a useful benchmark for comparing other listings you encounter.

Price ranges

Based on current MyHome.ie data, 3-bedroom houses in Macroom span roughly €220,000 to €350,000 depending on condition, location within the town, and whether the property is end-terrace, mid-terrace, or semi-detached. Sites and properties needing renovation can fall as low as €55,000 (Glebe, Clondrohid listed by Daniel Fleming Auctioneers), though those require significant capital investment post-purchase.

Key features

Macroom 3-beds tend to share a few characteristics: compact gardens, off-street parking, and construction that ranges from 1970s–1990s vernacular builds to early 2000s estates. Energy ratings vary widely — older semis often sit in the D or E band, while newly listed turnkey properties may carry B ratings. Buyers prioritizing energy efficiency should check the Building Energy Rating (BER) on each listing before scheduling a viewing.

New houses for sale in Macroom

New builds in Macroom carry a documented 30.2% premium over second-hand properties, according to PropertyData.ie figures. That premium reflects buyer preference for turnkey, energy-efficient homes — a trend that DNG Galvin notes as particularly strong in the 2026 Cork market outlook. For buyers who can stretch their budget, the higher upfront cost often pays back through lower utility bills and reduced maintenance in the first decade of ownership.

The property market across County Cork and West Cork in 2026 is expected to remain strong, with property prices forecast to rise by around 5%.

Finding genuinely new construction in Macroom requires checking OM2 and DNG listings specifically, as most aggregator results mix new builds with existing stock. OM2.ie features properties like 12 Árd Na Greine and 15 Barrett Place — the latter a 4-bed semi-detached at €250,000 that represents a newer listing in the town.

Recent developments

OM2 and Derek Dorgan Auctioneer list properties in Macroom on MyHome.ie, with OM2 handling listings like 15 Barrett Place. The development pattern in Macroom leans toward small infill projects rather than large housing estates — a function of the town’s scale and its position as a service center for surrounding rural areas.

OM2 and DNG listings

OM2.ie features homes including 12 Árd Na Greine and 15 Barrett Place (P12EV79). DNG, meanwhile, serves the broader West Cork market through its regional offices. For buyers specifically hunting new builds, direct portal searches on OM2.ie and DNG.ie tend to surface listings that don’t always appear immediately on MyHome.ie or Daft.ie due to listing-sync delays.

New builds overview

The new-build market in Macroom remains supply-constrained. PropertyData.ie data suggests that new constructions command a 30.2% premium — a gap that reflects both construction costs and buyer demand for modern insulation, heating systems, and layouts. In practice, this means a new 4-bed semi-detached in Macroom can easily list at €350,000 or above, while a comparable second-hand property sells for €270,000–€295,000.

OM2 houses for sale in Macroom

OM2 operates as an active auctioneer in the Macroom property market, listing on MyHome.ie alongside competitors like Sherry FitzGerald and Derek Dorgan Auctioneer. Their 15 Barrett Place listing — a 4-bed, 3-bath semi-detached at €250,000 — represents a competitively priced entry point for families seeking turnkey conditions without city-level pricing.

Featured properties

15 Barrett Place (listed as P12EV79) is the clearest OM2 listing with a verifiable price and specs currently active on MyHome.ie. At €250,000 for a 4-bed, it undercuts the Macroom average of €303,450 significantly — suggesting either motivated sellers, properties with minor defects, or listings that have been on the market long enough to attract price reductions.

Locations in Macroom

OM2’s Macroom listings span addresses near the town center and surrounding residential zones. Barrett Place sits within a established estate area, while other OM2 listings may cover properties closer to Chapel Hill or the Meadowlands development. Buyers should cross-reference OM2.ie directly with MyHome.ie to confirm which listings remain active, as portal syncing can create temporary discrepancies.

Contact details

OM2.ie provides direct contact information for viewings and enquiries. For properties listed on MyHome.ie under OM2, the portal typically displays agent contact details alongside the listing. Scheduling a viewing through the listing portal or by calling the agent directly remains the standard approach — Macroom’s small-town scale means agents can often arrange viewings within days of enquiry.

The catch: OM2 listings that undercut the market average significantly warrant a pre-purchase survey — savings on asking price disappear fast against remediation costs for undisclosed defects.

Sherry FitzGerald houses for sale Macroom

Sherry FitzGerald occupies the upper end of the Macroom market, handling high-specification properties like Mountain View at Chapel Hill (asking €625,000 for a 5-bed) and Clonkeen House, a 5-bed detached bungalow on a 2.17-acre site near Lissarda. Their local office, Sherry FitzGerald Hinchion at 77 Main Street, manages most of the agency’s Macroom activity and has a track record with sold properties like 79 The Hermitage.

Prices rose 6.8% year-on-year. New builds command a 30.2% premium over second-hand properties.

— PropertyData.ie market data provider

The implication: Sherry FitzGerald’s listings skew toward buyers with larger budgets or those relocating from higher-cost markets who can afford the premium for larger plots and rural settings. Clonkeen House, for instance, targets a buyer seeking acreage — a niche that Daft.ie shows has limited competition within Macroom itself.

Agency listings

On MyHome.ie, Mountain View, Chapel Hill is listed by Sherry FitzGerald Cork at €625,000 — by far the highest asking price among verified active Macroom listings. Clonkeen House appears on SherryFitz.ie, marketed as a lifestyle property for buyers prioritizing space over proximity to town amenities.

Property types

Sherry FitzGerald’s Macroom portfolio spans 5-bed detached houses, large bungalows on acreages, and properties with established gardens. The agency rarely lists entry-level or mid-market semis — their sweet spot targets €400,000 and above, positioning them as the specialist for families upsizing from smaller Macroom properties or buyers moving from Cork city seeking more land for their budget.

Market updates

Daft.ie records show Sherry FitzGerald Hinchion has sold properties in Macroom, including 79 The Hermitage and 19 Oakwood (P12EK77) — both indicating the agency’s ability to close transactions in the local market. For buyers working with Sherry FitzGerald, this transaction history provides confidence that listings reflect genuine seller intent rather than inflated asking prices.

Repossessed houses for sale Macroom

Repositions and distressed property sales in Macroom operate differently from the mainstream market. Unlike Cork city, where banks and receivers actively market repossessed properties through dedicated portals, Macroom’s smaller scale means repos listings surface less frequently and often through general aggregators rather than specialist platforms.

Availability

A specific count of repossessed properties in Macroom is unavailable from current verified sources. Searches across Daft.ie and MyHome.ie for “repossession” or “receiver” within Macroom listings return mixed results — some flagged by the portals themselves, others listed at standard market prices by receivers who inherited properties through legal proceedings.

Sources

The most reliable approach to finding repossessed properties in the Macroom area involves three steps: (1) searching Daft.ie with location filters set to Macroom and surrounding townlands like Toames and Lissarda, (2) checking with Sherry FitzGerald Hinchion or OM2 directly to ask about off-market receivership inventory, and (3) monitoring Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) registers for licensed auctioneers who handle distressed sales.

Buying process

Purchasing a repossessed property in Macroom typically involves the same legal process as a standard purchase, with one addition: the buyer inherits the property as-is, often with no representations on condition or previous occupancy. Auctioneers like Sherry FitzGerald and OM2 can guide buyers through the process, though engaging a solicitor with conveyancing experience remains essential before signing any contract.

MyHome.ie lists 31 properties averaging €303,450 in Macroom, where detailed price range guide spans options from €55k cottages to €650k family homes amid steady market growth.
