"Locals from the popular seaside village of Fenit in north Kerry say they are being priced out of owning a home in the locality they were "born and raised in" due to exorbitant prices and 'Dublin holiday home hunters'. Fenit is a destination of prime scenic value with an emerging tourism economy owing to its seaside activities and as a terminus point for the Tralee-Fenit Greenway. It's close proximity to Tralee also makes it an attractive place to live."
Local residents are being priced out of homeownership in Fenit by soaring property prices and buyers from Dublin seeking holiday homes. Fenit offers prime coastal scenery, seaside activities, and growing tourism that increases demand for local housing. The Tralee-Fenit Greenway terminus and close proximity to Tralee amplify attractiveness to commuters and holiday purchasers. Rising second-home ownership and holiday rental demand push prices beyond what many locals can afford. The changing market risks altering community composition, reducing year-round residents and putting pressure on local services and housing availability for families.
