This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position.
Financial Exposure · 23% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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 B1 Energy Efficiency: With a B1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,300-€1,700, compared to €2,000-€2,600 for a typical D-rated property of this size, offering annual savings of €700-€900.
Spacious Accommodation: The 190m² size with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms offers ample space, aligning well with the higher end of family housing needs in suburban areas.
Value Optimization Opportunity: While the BER is good, a potential upgrade from B1 to A2 could cost approximately €6,000-€9,000 and is estimated to increase property value by €10,000-€15,000, representing a positive return on investment.
Hypothesis: The B1 BER rating is a significant asset, but focusing on further minor enhancements, such as improved insulation in attic spaces or upgrading to smart heating controls, could push the property closer to an A-rating, potentially increasing its market appeal and commanding a premium of 3-5% in a competitive environment.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Carrigtwohill railway station is accessible, providing direct services to Cork city, and Bus Éireann routes 240 and 241 serve the area connecting to Cork and surrounding towns.
Local Lifestyle Amenities: Amenities include shops like SuperValu Carrigtwohill, healthcare facilities such as Carrigtwohill Primary Care Centre, and dining options like The Thirsty Scholar pub and restaurant.
Walkability and Green Spaces: The development likely offers pedestrian pathways, and nearby areas include the scenic walking routes along the Owenacurra River and local playgrounds for families.
Hypothesis: The growing residential development in Castlelake, combined with the ongoing investment in infrastructure connecting Carrigtwohill to Cork city via rail and road, is likely to increase property values in this area by an estimated 5-8% over the next three years due to improved commuter appeal and amenity access.
