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 C3 Potential: With a C3 BER rating, the property likely has an annual energy cost of approximately €1,400-€1,800. Upgrading to a B2 rating could potentially reduce these costs by €400-€600 annually, with upgrade costs estimated between €8,000-€12,000, offering a modest return on investment.
Generous Size: At 111.0m², this semi-detached property offers a good amount of living space, especially with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which is a strong configuration for family living.
Value Optimization: The property's asking price of €250,000 is marginally below its estimated value of €253,971, suggesting a slight opportunity for immediate value capture or negotiation.
Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER rating, a targeted investment of €8,000-€12,000 in insulation and heating upgrades could yield a 5-10% increase in resale value, especially if comparable properties in the area with higher BER ratings are achieving premiums in the market.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: While located in Dunmore, Co. Galway, specific bus route numbers, train stations, Luas, or DART stops serving this immediate address are not detailed in the provided data, suggesting potential reliance on local services or private transport.
Local Services: The area likely offers essential services such as local primary schools, pharmacies, and a small range of shops and cafes typical of a rural town, though specific names are absent from the data.
Family Amenities: The presence of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms indicates a configuration suited for families, and the local area would be expected to have associated primary and secondary educational facilities, though specific institutions are not listed.
Hypothesis: The absence of detailed public transport connectivity in the provided data suggests that the value proposition of 17 Dun Chaoin is primarily driven by local community amenities and its role as a residential hub rather than strong commuter links to larger urban centres, implying that future development focusing on enhanced public transport could significantly boost property values.
