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 Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Size Efficiency: At 55m², the apartment is smaller than the average property size of 106.5m² sold within a 1km radius over 180 days, suggesting that buyers in this immediate area often seek larger living spaces.
- Configuration Mismatch: With 1 bathroom for 2 bedrooms, the configuration is less desirable than the median of 2 bathrooms within a 1km radius over 180 days, which could affect long-term resale appeal.
- Hypothesis: The high BER unknown percentage (100%) across all recent market data suggests a general lack of focus on energy efficiency in recent sales within 1km, creating an opportunity for this property to gain a significant value premium by proactively improving its BER rating ahead of market trends.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: This location is exceptionally well-served with Dublin Bus routes 46A, 67, and 145 passing within close proximity, and the Luas Green Line at St Stephen's Green stop is approximately a 10-minute walk.
Details
- Urban Lifestyle Hub: Residents have immediate access to iconic Dublin 2 amenities, including Grafton Street for high-end retail, St Stephen's Green Park for recreation, and numerous cafes and restaurants along Baggot Street and Merrion Row.
- Local Services and Education: Within a short walk are reputable institutions like Pearse Street Dart Station, Trinity College Dublin, and numerous pharmacies and medical clinics around Merrion Square.
- Hypothesis: The property's prime Dublin 2 address, offering unparalleled walkability to major transport hubs like Pearse Street Dart station and St Stephen's Green Luas stop, combined with a rich ecosystem of cultural and retail amenities, supports a strong and stable long-term value proposition that is resilient to broader market fluctuations.
