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
Superior Energy Efficiency: With a BER B rating, this 194m² property offers excellent energy efficiency, translating to potential annual savings of €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property, which typically incurs €1,800-€2,200 in yearly energy costs.
Details
- Generous Proportions: At 194m² with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this detached home provides substantially more space than the typical 3-4 bedroom, 2-bathroom median configurations found in the 5-10km radii, catering to larger family needs.
- Value-Adding Modern Standard: The property's BER B rating provides immediate value and reduced running costs; upgrading a D-rated property to a similar standard could involve costs of €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing its market value by €15,000-€20,000.
- Hypothesis: Given that BER ratings are unknown for 100% of the nearby sold properties in the provided data, this property's transparent and strong BER B rating represents a distinct competitive advantage, allowing it to stand out and command a premium as buyers prioritize energy efficiency in an opaque market.
Amenities
Strategic Road Connectivity: The property benefits from excellent road access via the N2 national primary road, offering a direct route south to Dublin and north to Monaghan, complemented by Bus Éireann routes 32 and 162 providing regional public transport.
Details
- Comprehensive Family Facilities: Carrickmacross offers strong educational foundations with Patrician High School and Scoil Rois Primary School, along with childcare options like Little Steps Creche and Kidz Klub Creche & Montessori, all within the town.
- Convenient Local Services: Essential daily amenities are readily available, including SuperValu and Aldi supermarkets for groceries, Carrickmacross Primary Care Centre for health services, and Carrickmacross Leisure Centre for fitness and recreation.
- Hypothesis: The balance of well-regarded local schools, readily available healthcare, and diverse retail options, combined with efficient road links, makes Carrickmacross an increasingly attractive location for families seeking a high quality of life outside major urban centers, thus sustaining property demand.
