In total 72 properties sold for above their reserve price, with just one below it.
MyHome.ie managing director Angela Keegan said the level of genuine interest in today's auction was impressive.
"Today's auction showed that these type of events are no longer a spectacle. This time last year when the first Allsop auction was held it was a media circus and really captured the public's imagination but the fact it was all business this time around shows that it has become part of the normal fabric of the Irish property market.
The next Allsop Space auction takes place on Friday July 6th.
