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 C2 Potential Savings: A C2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs of approximately €1,600-€2,000, which is €400-€800 lower than comparable D-rated properties in the area.
Details
- Standard Size for Type: At 120m², this semi-detached property offers a good living space, aligning with the median sale price for 3-bed properties in the 20km radius which tend to be of similar size.
- Upgrade Opportunity: Investing €6,000-€10,000 to improve the BER rating from C2 to B2 could potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000 and further reduce annual energy costs by €200-€400.
- Hypothesis: The prevalence of C2 BER ratings in the 100km radius indicates a market segment that prioritizes moderate energy efficiency, suggesting that while upgrades are beneficial, the current rating is acceptable for a significant portion of buyers seeking value.

Adequate Transport Links: Castleisland is served by Bus Éireann routes 13, 40, and 279, providing connectivity to Tralee and Killarney, with the nearest train station being Tralee (approx. 25km away).

- Convenient Local Amenities: Castleisland offers essential retail with Garvey's Supervalu, Superdrug Pharmacy, and a range of local shops and cafes, facilitating daily needs within walking distance.
- Hypothesis: The ongoing investment in public transport infrastructure for regional towns like Castleisland, coupled with the recent development of the Castleisland bypass, is likely to enhance its appeal to those seeking a balance between rural living and accessibility to larger employment hubs like Tralee and Killarney.
