Selling Ireland’s Dream Homes: Slevoir House, on the banks of Lough Derg, has a near €3 million asking priceHas the flirty fun gone out of property porn? With house prices at an all-time high, and so many people struggling to find somewhere to live, this could be an absurd moment for a series celebrating Ireland’s most chichi residents. But don’t worry, says the voiceover at the start of Selling Ireland’s Dream Homes .
That’s quite a fantasy. And who could deny the thrill of snooping around the multimillion-euro houses that manifest before us in mirage-like splendour? Are they real? If we reach out, could we touch them? Maybe it’s all a hallucination we have collectively willed into existence. Megapriced-property telly has become its own microgenre over the past few years. The best-known example is, on Netflix. There, the drama has as much to do with the glamorous, back-stabbing estate agents as with the dwellings themselves. Channel 4 has tried to replicate the formula in the UK with Britain’s Most Expensive Houses. It features fast-talking realtors who orbit the megarich and have lots of underwhelming adventures along the way.
Selling Ireland’s Dream Homes: estate agent Owen Reilly laments the Irish property market’s ever-spiralling “supply-demand mismatch” Mercifully, RTÉ has not tried to tack on its own extension to this cheesy milieu. Any temptation to elevate Irish estate agents into microcelebs is wisely resisted in a watchable, largely ostentation-free lifestyle documentary.
