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 Rating Impact: The C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with potential annual savings of €300-€500 compared to a G-rated property of similar size.
Cost-Effective Upgrades: Upgrading from a C1 BER to a B2 rating could cost approximately €6,000-€10,000 and is estimated to increase the property's value by €9,000-€15,000.
Spacious Accommodation: With 138m² and 4 bedrooms, the property offers a generous living space that aligns with demand for larger family homes, being larger than the median property size implied by the 1km median sale price per sqm data.
Hypothesis: The consistent €185,000 median sale price for properties of the same narrow type within 1km, despite this property being 138m² with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, suggests that while the size and number of rooms are a positive, the BER rating and specific finishes of this property are influencing its perceived value relative to simpler, smaller units in the immediate vicinity.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Carrickmacross is served by Bus Éireann routes, with key services connecting to Dundalk and Dublin, providing access to major transport hubs and urban centers.
Educational Facilities: The area is supported by local schools such as St. Louis' Secondary School and St. Joseph's National School, catering to primary and secondary education needs.
Local Retail and Services: Residents have access to essential shopping amenities within Carrickmacross town centre, including supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, along with various local businesses and pharmacies.
Hypothesis: The strong demand indicated by the 65 sales within a 10km radius over 180 days, combined with Carrickmacross's position as a key service town for the surrounding rural area, suggests that improvements in direct public transport links to Dublin could unlock further significant value appreciation for properties like this one, currently positioned as a commuter-adjacent location.
