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 Efficiency: With a C3 BER rating, this bungalow is moderately energy efficient; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Space Utilization: This 61m² bungalow with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom is compact, with the median number of bedrooms and bathrooms in comparable properties within a 10km radius being 3 and 2 respectively, suggesting a potential mismatch with local buyer preferences for more space.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading the single bathroom to a more modern two-bathroom configuration could cost an estimated €6,000-€9,000 and potentially add €10,000-€15,000 to the property's value, aligning it better with the 2-bathroom median in the 10km radius.
- Hypothesis: Given the current C3 BER and a configuration of 2 beds/1 bath, there's a significant opportunity to enhance value by not only improving energy efficiency to a B-rating (estimated €8,000-€12,000 cost for a €15,000-€20,000 value increase) but also by undertaking a sympathetic extension to add a third bedroom and second bathroom, potentially costing €25,000-€40,000 and yielding a €50,000-€70,000 increase in market value, mirroring the local preference for larger homes.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Ardee is served by Bus Éireann routes, including route 182 which connects to Dundalk and Dublin, providing essential public transport links.
Details
- Local Education: Proximity to St. Mary's National School in Ardee town centre offers convenient access to primary education for families.
- Healthcare Access: Ardee Primary Care Centre provides local healthcare services, and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda is within a reasonable driving distance for more comprehensive medical needs.
- Hypothesis: While Ardee offers essential local amenities and connections via Bus Éireann route 182, the lack of direct DART or Luas access and the 40-minute to 1-hour drive to Dublin city centre (depending on traffic) positions this property as more suitable for a local buyer or someone working remotely, rather than a daily commuter to the capital, influencing its long-term capital growth potential compared to properties closer to major public transport hubs.
