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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading this C1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but may increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Energy Cost Savings: While a C1 BER is acceptable, achieving an A or B rating would offer substantial annual energy savings, potentially reducing costs by €800-€1,200 per year compared to properties with D or E ratings.
- Spacious Configuration: With 175m² of living space and 4 bedrooms, the property offers a generous layout, exceeding the median 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found in the broader market data (100km radius).
- Hypothesis: The current C1 BER rating, while not poor, presents an opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in further insulation and heating upgrades could elevate the BER to a B2 or higher, not only reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €800-€1,200 but also potentially commanding a premium of €15,000-€20,000 in a market where energy efficiency is increasingly valued.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific local bus routes are not provided, the location outside Dublin suggests potential reliance on car transport, with no Luas, DART, or train stations explicitly mentioned as being within immediate reach.
Details
- Local Facilities Gap: There's a lack of specific named local amenities such as schools, hospitals, or major retail centres within the provided data for Calverstown, suggesting residents may need to travel for these services.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The 'Outside Dublin' designation and the property type suggest a focus on a more rural or suburban lifestyle, likely with less immediate access to extensive urban amenities and public transport compared to properties closer to major centres.
- Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' location of 18 Carrig Glen, Calverstown, coupled with the absence of specific public transport routes and educational facilities in the raw data, indicates that its primary appeal will be to buyers prioritizing a quieter, more rural setting, willing to trade immediate urban convenience for space and potentially lower property prices compared to prime Dublin suburbs, though this is not reflected in the current asking price.
