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 Improvement Potential: A C1 BER rating offers potential for improvement; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, with annual savings of €1,000-€1,400 compared to D-rated properties.
Details
- Generous Space Allocation: At 240m², this detached 5-bedroom property offers ample living space, exceeding the typical median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found within a 10km radius, suggesting good space efficiency for its configuration.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER rating is average, investing in targeted upgrades like attic insulation and window replacements could elevate its energy efficiency and market appeal, positively impacting its value proposition compared to the 100% BER unknown local market data.
- Hypothesis: The 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom configuration, coupled with a substantial 240m² size and a C1 BER rating, suggests a property designed for larger families or those seeking significant living space. However, to align with the strong local demand for properties that sold above asking (80.77% within 10km in 30 days), a focused investment in energy efficiency could unlock further value and faster saleability.
Amenities
Connectivity to Galway City: The property's location in Barna provides good access to Galway city, with bus routes likely serving the area (specific routes not provided in data but implied by 'outside Dublin' context and general connectivity).
Details
- Local Lifestyle Hub: Barna offers a desirable lifestyle with amenities such as local restaurants like O'Grady's on the Pier and cafes, alongside proximity to Salthill Promenade for recreational activities.
- Family and Healthcare Access: While specific schools and healthcare facilities are not detailed, Barna is typically served by primary schools in the immediate vicinity and secondary schools in nearby Galway city, along with University Hospital Galway for healthcare needs.
- Hypothesis: Given Barna's coastal location and growing popularity as a desirable residential area near Galway city, further infrastructure investment in public transport connectivity and enhanced local amenities could significantly boost property values in Creagan, attracting more families and professionals seeking a blend of coastal living and urban access.
