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
Energy Efficiency Advantage: With a B2 BER rating, this property offers significant energy efficiency, translating to estimated annual energy costs of €800-€1,200, a notable saving of €600-€1,400 annually compared to the €1,800-€2,200 typical for a D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Exceptional Space: At 214m² with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this semi-detached property is categorized as '2X Very Large,' offering significantly more space and amenities than the typical 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom homes that dominate sales across all nearby radii (5km to 100km).
- Premium Configuration: The property's 4 bathrooms exceed the median of 2-3 bathrooms found in properties sold within a 10km to 50km radius, providing a distinct premium and convenience factor for a large family home.
- Hypothesis: The expansive 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom configuration and excellent B2 BER rating position this property as a rare, high-quality offering in a market where the majority of sales are for smaller, less energy-efficient homes, likely appealing to a niche segment of buyers prioritizing space and long-term cost savings.
Amenities
Local Transport Links: While not on a national rail line, the property benefits from local bus services such as Bus Éireann routes (e.g., potential connections via Fermoy, approximately 15km away) and Local Link services, connecting Conna to larger towns, with the nearest mainline train station at Mallow offering routes to Cork City and Dublin.
Details
- Family Education Focus: The property is well-positioned for families, with Conna National School located within walking distance in the village, and accessible secondary education options in nearby Fermoy, including St. Colman's College and Loreto Secondary School, approximately 15km away.
- Essential Local Services: Residents have convenient access to essential services in Conna village, including a local shop, post office, and Conna Pharmacy, while more extensive shopping and healthcare facilities like Supervalu, Lidl, and Fermoy Medical Centre are readily available in Fermoy, approximately 15km away.
- Hypothesis: Given Conna's rural charm and slower-paced lifestyle, the property's value is enhanced not by urban-level connectivity, but by its appeal to families seeking strong community ties, local amenities, and direct access to primary education and essential services within a tranquil village setting, reducing daily commute dependency on Cork City.
