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
Moderate BER Rating: With a C1 BER rating, this property sits in the mid-range, suggesting potential for energy cost savings compared to lower-rated homes but still offers room for improvement.
Details
- Efficient Sizing: The 94.0m² size is well-suited for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached home, offering adequate living space without excessive maintenance or running costs.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the BER is C1, a strategic upgrade to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs by €800-€1,200 compared to D-rated homes.
- Hypothesis: The C1 BER rating, while adequate, represents a tangible opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in targeted energy upgrades could not only improve the property's marketability and long-term running costs but also significantly boost its capital value, especially in a market where energy efficiency is increasingly valued.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Hub: This area is served by Bus Eireann routes 419 and 420, providing direct links to Galway city centre and surrounding towns, enhancing commuter convenience.
Details
- Local Retail and Services: Residents have convenient access to the Headford Road Shopping Centre, featuring a Dunnes Stores supermarket, and a variety of local shops and pharmacies within a 2km radius.
- Proximity to Education and Healthcare: Nearby educational facilities include Gaelscoil Dara and St. Joseph's College, while University Hospital Galway is a short 3km drive, offering comprehensive services.
- Hypothesis: The strong integration of public transport with essential services and educational institutions, coupled with its location outside Dublin but within a major regional city's influence, suggests that properties in this vicinity are likely to maintain or increase their desirability among families and commuters seeking a balance of convenience and community.
