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 C2 BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, estimated to incur annual energy costs of €1,000-€1,400 less than a comparable D-rated property of similar size, providing significant savings for a buyer.
Details
- Spacious Living Configuration: At 118m², this 3-bedroom semi-detached property falls into the 'Large' size category, offering ample living space that exceeds the typical footprint of many 3-bedroom homes in the region.
- Bathroom Count Mismatch: The property features only 1 bathroom, which is significantly below the median of 3 bathrooms for 3-bedroom properties sold within both 5km and 10km radii over the last 90 days, potentially impacting its appeal to families or future resale value.
- Hypothesis: Upgrading the single bathroom to include an additional toilet or a second full bathroom, a common feature in similar sized properties in the 5km radius, would not only enhance daily living convenience but could also increase the property's market value by an estimated €5,000-€10,000, aligning it more closely with buyer expectations.
Amenities
Local Educational Access: The property benefits from close proximity to local schools, including Milford National School and Mulroy College, ensuring convenient access to primary and secondary education within Milford.
Details
- Essential Local Services: Residents have easy access to everyday amenities with SuperValu Milford for groceries, McFadden's Pharmacy, and Milford Primary Care Centre all located within the town, supporting daily needs.
- Regional Connectivity: While Milford is served by Bus Éireann with routes connecting to Letterkenny and surrounding areas (e.g., Bus Éireann Route 300 linking to Letterkenny and onwards), major rail, Luas, or DART services are not available, which is typical for this rural Donegal location.
- Hypothesis: The strong community infrastructure with local schools and essential services, combined with the scenic Lough Fern and Mulroy Bay nearby, positions Milford as an attractive location for families seeking a quieter lifestyle, with property values increasingly reflecting its self-sufficiency despite more limited major transport links.
