Crosshaven · Cork

The short answer
Crosshaven sits in the 1.4% to 1.75% plus VAT band. It is a small market in volume terms, with sailing, the harbour and the coast driving a meaningful share of demand.
In a market this size, the agent’s existing buyer list can matter more than their advertising. Ask whether they already have people looking in Crosshaven specifically, and how long that list has been active.
Second-home and holiday-home buyers behave differently from family buyers on timing. An agent who sells here regularly will know which season suits your property.

Agents working in Crosshaven generally cover the surrounding area too: Carrigaline, Myrtleville, Passage West, Douglas. If your property sits between two of these, say so when you request a quote — it affects which agents are worth hearing from.
