A well-established coastal location

Wexford has long been a favourite for second homes and coastal living, with generations of buyers returning year after year. Today, that appeal has broadened, with increased interest from full-time movers, lifestyle buyers and overseas purchasers.

For homeowners, this sustained demand, particularly in coastal and commuter-friendly areas, continues to underpin strong sales activity.

Lifestyle, amenities and things to do

One of Wexford’s biggest selling points is its lifestyle, and it’s what continues to attract buyers.

From Blue Flag beaches such as Curracloe and Rosslare Strand, to golf courses, food destinations and the internationally recognised Wexford Opera Festival, the county offers something for everyone. Add to that a strong equestrian scene and excellent outdoor amenities, and it’s easy to see why buyers are drawn here.

For sellers, showcasing not just the home but the lifestyle on offer is key to maximising interest.

Connectivity & accessibility

Despite its coastal feel, Wexford remains highly accessible.

The N11/M11 and regular rail services connect the county to Dublin, making it a practical choice for commuters and hybrid workers. Dublin Airport is within easy reach, while Rosslare Europort provides direct routes to the UK and Europe, an important consideration for international buyers.

Landscape and Lifestyle Appeal

Wexford’s landscape is a major part of its appeal, from sandy beaches and dunes to rolling farmland and countryside.

This variety attracts a wide audience, from those seeking a coastal retreat to buyers looking for privacy, land or a country residence. Homes that maximise these natural surroundings often command particularly strong interest.

Key Locations in Wexford

Demand across the county remains varied, with several key hotspots:

• Gorey & Ballymoney: Strong demand driven by coastal setting and connectivity
• Rosslare Strand & Curracloe: Established seaside locations popular for both full-time living and holiday homes
• Blackwater & surrounding areas: Increasingly sought after by lifestyle buyers
• Inland locations (Ferns, Bunclody, Enniscorthy): Offer space and value, appealing to country home buyers

Understanding how your property sits within these micro-markets is key when preparing to sell.

Property types and style

Wexford offers a diverse mix of properties, helping attract a broad range of buyers, and appeals to those seeking space, privacy and value.

These include:

• Coastal homes and holiday properties
• Family homes in established towns and villages
• Period houses and renovated farmhouses
• Equestrian properties and land-rich holdings

New homes are also an increasingly visible part of the market, particularly around Gorey and Wexford Town, attracting strong interest from first-time buyers and those relocating. However, many buyers continue to favour established homes for their character, larger sites and mature settings, giving well-presented second-hand properties a clear advantage.

For sellers, this diversity means there is no single “typical” buyer, making expert positioning and marketing all the more important.

Wexford Property Market Trends 

The Wexford market continues to perform steadily, supported by:

• Strong lifestyle-driven demand
• Limited supply of quality homes
• Continued interest in coastal and commuter locations
• A highly active holiday home market

Premium prices are regularly achieved in areas such as Gorey and Rosslare, while inland locations provide more accessible options, ensuring a wide pool of active buyers.

For sellers, well-presented homes in desirable locations continue to achieve competitive results.
