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 Rating Impact: The C3 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, while current energy costs are estimated at €1,600-€2,000 annually compared to €800-€1,200 for A/B rated homes.
Details
- Size Efficiency Mismatch: While the property is 120m², it only offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is below the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms seen in the wider market (100km radius), potentially limiting its appeal and resale value.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration for a 120m² detached house, a simple extension or reconfiguration to add a second bathroom could significantly enhance its marketability and value, given the 100km median of 2 bathrooms.
- Hypothesis: The current configuration of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom within a 120m² detached house, while having a C3 BER, presents a significant opportunity for value uplift. A strategic investment in adding a second bathroom (estimated cost €5,000-€8,000) could align it with the 2-bathroom median in the broader market and potentially increase its value by €10,000-€15,000, far exceeding the investment.
Amenities
Transport Links: While located outside Dublin, the nearest train station is Dundalk Station, approximately 7km away, offering connections to Dublin Connolly. Bus Éireann routes serving Saltown, such as the 175, provide local connectivity.
Details
- Local Services: The property is situated near essential services; Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal Primary School is within 2km, and there are pharmacies and local shops in Dundalk town centre, approximately 7km away.
- Walkability & Green Space: Saltown offers a semi-rural setting with limited immediate walkability to extensive amenities, but it provides access to green spaces like Bellurgan Forest Park, approximately 5km distant, for recreational activities.
- Hypothesis: The semi-rural location of Saltown, while offering tranquility, presents a connectivity challenge for daily commutes to Dublin, with Dundalk Station being the primary rail link approximately 7km away. Future infrastructure development focusing on enhanced public transport links directly to major employment hubs, or improved local amenities within a 3-5km radius, would significantly boost property values and buyer appeal.
