How this is calculated
We search the Property Price Register for closed sales near this property — matching by location, beds, property type, and where available, floor area (±20%). This gives us a set of genuinely comparable transactions.
Each sale is then time-adjusted to today using local price trends, so a sale from 18 months ago is inflated (or deflated) to reflect current market conditions. Where floor area is known, sales are also size-adjusted — a 90m² sale is normalised to what it would have sold for at this property's size. This means the figures you see aren't raw prices — they're what those same homes would likely sell for today, at this size.
Your bid strategy (opening offer, sealed bid range, walk-away ceiling) is then derived from the statistical distribution of these adjusted sales — with conservative safety margins applied when data is thin or dated.
Every figure comes from actual government-recorded sale prices. No asking prices, no agent estimates, no automated valuations.

Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
BER Energy Savings: With an A3 BER rating, this property's annual energy costs are estimated to be €800-€1,200, significantly lower than the €1,800-€2,200 typically seen for D-rated properties of this size in the area.
Space Efficiency: The 129m² size of this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached home is well-proportioned for family living, aligning with typical demand for family-sized residences in suburban Dublin.
Value Optimization Potential: While BER A3 is excellent, potential for further value optimization exists by exploring smart home technology integration which could add an estimated €5,000-€10,000 in value, aligning with the €4,648 per sqm median in the 3km radius.
Hypothesis: The A3 BER rating suggests an initial investment of €20,000-€30,000 in insulation and heating systems when built, offering immediate savings compared to older stock. Future value uplift could be achieved by focusing on aesthetic and functional upgrades rather than further energy efficiency, as the BER is already high.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While not directly served by DART or Luas, Rush is accessible via the M1 and M50 motorways, and Dublin Bus routes 33, 101, and 33A provide services to Dublin city centre.
Local Educational Facilities: The area is served by St. Joseph's Secondary School and Rush National School, providing convenient options for families.
Shopping and Retail: Local amenities include Tesco, Dunnes Stores, and a variety of independent shops and cafes within Rush town centre, offering practical daily conveniences.
Hypothesis: The limited direct public transport links to Dublin city centre, relying on bus services and national roads, indicate that this property is likely more appealing to buyers who prioritize a coastal lifestyle and community feel in Rush, rather than those requiring a daily commute to the city centre via public transport.
