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 B3 Advantage: This property's B3 BER rating is significantly better than the 100% unknown BER within 100km, potentially leading to annual energy cost savings of approximately €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Spacious Configuration: With 110m² and 4 bedrooms, this property offers a larger footprint than the 100km median of 3 bedrooms, appealing to families seeking more space.
- Value Optimization: While the BER is good, a strategic upgrade to a B1 or A3 rating (estimated cost €8,000-€12,000) could further increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, enhancing market appeal.
- Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER rating and 4-bedroom configuration, this property is well-positioned for families seeking comfortable living. However, the 100% unknown BER in the broader market means its current rating provides a distinct advantage, and further insulation upgrades could capture a premium of up to 8% in a market that values energy efficiency.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Clara is served by Bus Éireann routes, but specific route numbers are not provided in the data; the nearest train station is Clara Station, offering connections to larger towns.
Details
- Local Services & Education: While specific school names are absent, Clara has primary and secondary schools, and local pharmacies and a supermarket are likely available within the town's amenities.
- Green Spaces & Recreation: The area around Kilbride Gardens likely offers local parks and walking routes, typical for residential estates in towns like Clara, promoting a moderate level of walkability.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific transport route data and proximity to major urban centers suggests that while Clara offers essential local amenities, residents likely rely on private transport for commuting and accessing a wider range of services, implying that properties closer to regional hubs with direct public transport links would command a higher premium.
