Over forty years ago Bundoran had a traditional eight week tourist season in July and August. The shoulder months of June and September were for the more sedate visitors! Many local shops and cafes only opened for a twelve week period and seasonal employment in local businesses flourished for that time.

Nowadays the “season” is virtually on all year with the exception of a few weeks in January and November when local businesses take the chance to do essential maintenance work on their properties and grab a few days off themselves.

Things kick off more seriously around St Valentine’s Day. At that point the days have started to stretch and a touch of Spring optimism raises its head.

“Discover Bundoran” is a local business initiative supported and financed by local businesses and our local authority, Donegal County Council. It provides information for the tourist, both intending and attending, through its website and its office on The Bridge in Bundoran.

Our local Tourism Officer is the local broadcaster Shane Smyth. He is responsible for the branding and marketing of Bundoran and among other things setting up and supporting local events and providing information for visitors. He is doing a great job and he spent the winter weeks attending Travel Industry Trade Fairs throughout Ireland and the UK.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Bundoran this year and hope you have wonderful time enjoying the bracing air of our stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way.

You might enjoy your visit enough to be tempted to own a small slice of local real estate and that’s exactly where we can help you!

What’s new?

Over the past few weeks we have been showered with forecasts and opinions from all types of experts on what the property market is going to do in Ireland in 2017.

There would seem to be general agreement that prices will increase. The forecasts vary quite significantly among the experts and also opinions are geographically varied.

Naturally there will be greater growth in the major population areas. This is more down to simple supply and demand factors.

Rural markets tend to be more vulnerable to shocks in the market such as currency movements, unemployment and believe it or not, the weather!

Whatever the weather we always try to keep our thoughts and ideas positive at the very least. This helps our market and encourages both buyers and sellers to get into the market.

As we get ready for the Spring selling season please give us a call and we will be happy to share our views and offer our assistance.

These offices will close on Friday 23rd December 2016 and re-open on Tuesday 3rd January 2017 at 10 am

Thank you for your highly valued business and support in 2016. We wish you a very Happy Christmas with much peace, prosperity and good health throughout 2017 and beyond.

This year, in lieu of Christmas Cards we are making a donation to both the Cardiac Rehab Unit at Sligo University Hospital and the Alzheimer Unit at Aras Mhic Shuibhne Nursing Home, Laghey, Co Donegal.
