    Can anyone tell me why so many houses for sale in Kilmeaden...have looked at a couple of lovely homes but, being eternally suspicious, wonder if there could be reasons other than the obvious for selling? Any ideas, or do I just need to take a chill-pill?

    Lots of new houses built in Kilmeaden recently, developers were getting ready to cash in once the waterford city by-pass is complete towards the end of the year. Current economic climate has changed this a bit but Kilmeaden is a nice village. The new commercial units have helped with Centra and a chinese restaurant (always handy). On the down side some of the local pubs have closed recently. I'd say keep a close eye on the prices over the next few months, migh go down anothe 5% or so if u're lucky:D:D:D

    Yes, think I'll watch and wait for a while, have fallen in love with a couple of houses in the area but it doesn't make economic sense to buy anything right now the way things are going...thanks for your reply!

    I assume he is referring to the fact that the route was popular because it brought you to Waterford. Now the bypass starts as you enter Kilmeaden so you do not need to go through the town anymore to go to Waterford.

    This will make Kilmeaden more attractive as the traffic will decrease making it a quiter area.

    Kilmeaden barely rates as a village!

    Yeah, the Irish definition of a village was church, three pubs and a shop. With all the pubs closng in Kilmeaden perhaps it could lose its village status!!!! :):):):)
