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 Upgrade Potential: Upgrading the D1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000 - €12,000 but could increase the property value by €15,000 - €20,000, offering a solid return on investment.
Details
- Size and Configuration: The 120m² bungalow with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom is on the smaller side for bungalows in areas with a higher median bedroom count (3.5 beds within 10km), suggesting potential for a layout adjustment to increase appeal.
- Value Optimization: While the current estimated value is €147,638, with a D1 BER and a single bathroom, there is a clear opportunity to increase its market value through targeted energy efficiency upgrades and potential bathroom enhancement.
- Hypothesis: The high percentage of properties with unknown BER ratings (100%) within the 100km radius suggests a market where proactive BER improvements are a strong differentiator, and properties that invest in such upgrades could command a premium of 5-10% over comparable unrated properties.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The absence of specific bus route numbers, train stations, Luas, or DART stops within the provided data for Ballymahon indicates a reliance on private transport and limited direct connectivity to major urban centres.
Details
- Local Service Access: While specific retailers are not listed, Ballymahon typically offers essential local services, suggesting a self-contained community feel rather than a hub for extensive shopping or diverse dining options.
- Educational Facilities: Information on specific schools or colleges in the immediate vicinity is not provided, making it difficult to assess the educational amenities for families or students.
- Hypothesis: The lack of readily available public transport and major retail centres in Ballymahon, as indicated by the data, suggests that future property value appreciation will be heavily contingent on local council investment in infrastructure and connectivity, potentially making properties near planned development zones more attractive.
