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 C3 Efficiency: With a C3 BER rating, this property is moderately energy efficient; upgrading to a B2 rating would cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and could increase its value by €15,000-€20,000, while potentially saving €1,000-€1,400 annually compared to D-rated properties of similar size.
Generous Space: The 106.0m² size offers ample living space for a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom configuration, which aligns well with the '4+ Bed' category, indicating a practical layout for families.
Value Optimization Opportunity: The property's current BER C3, while acceptable, represents an opportunity for value optimization; targeted insulation upgrades and efficient heating system installations, costing approximately €8,000-€12,000, could significantly enhance its appeal and resale value by an estimated €15,000-€20,000.
Hypothesis: The C3 BER rating, while not poor, suggests that further investment in energy efficiency could be a significant differentiator in the Galway market, where properties with higher BER ratings are increasingly commanding a premium due to rising energy costs and environmental awareness.
Amenities
Excellent Connectivity: The property is well-served by bus routes, including Galway City Direct services to Galway City Centre, and is within reasonable proximity to Galway train station for wider regional travel.
Family & Education Hub: Located near multiple primary and secondary schools, including Scoil Chroí Naofa and Coláiste Éinde, and with childcare facilities such as Tiny Treasures Creche nearby, the area is highly family-friendly.
Local Convenience: Residents benefit from proximity to local shops and essential services within the Salthill and Taylor's Hill areas, including supermarkets like Joyce’s Supermarket and a variety of restaurants and cafes, all within a short walking distance.
Hypothesis: The strong existing infrastructure of schools and local amenities, coupled with Galway City's ongoing development plans for public transport and green spaces, suggests a continued upward trajectory in property values in this established residential area, particularly for properties that can leverage these enhancements.
