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 Investment Opportunity: The 'SI_666' BER rating is effectively unknown and likely poor, indicating that upgrades to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Optimizing Value Through Upgrades: Given the unknown BER, investing in insulation and heating upgrades could reduce annual energy costs by an estimated €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property, enhancing long-term affordability.
- Standard Size and Configuration: With 89.0m² and 2 bedrooms, the property aligns with a medium-sized dwelling, fitting the 10km_90d_median_beds of 4.0 and 10km_90d_median_baths of 2.0 metrics seen in the area.
- Hypothesis: Given the lack of specific BER information, a comprehensive energy audit and targeted improvements to achieve at least a C or B rating would not only significantly reduce running costs but also unlock substantial capital appreciation, as buyers increasingly prioritise energy efficiency in their purchase decisions.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Castlebar's public transport network primarily relies on Bus Éireann services, with routes such as the 54 and 44 serving the town, but no DART or Luas services are available within the county.
Details
- Local Educational and Healthcare Access: The property is within proximity to St. Patrick's Boys' National School and St. Joseph's Secondary School, with Mayo University Hospital and several local pharmacies providing essential healthcare services.
- Retail and Leisure Hub: Castlebar town centre offers a range of amenities including Dunnes Stores, Tesco, and various independent retailers, alongside leisure facilities like Lough Lannagh Holiday Village and the Linenhall Arts Centre.
- Hypothesis: The lack of direct rail connectivity to major urban centres like Galway or Dublin necessitates a reliance on private transport, which could be a limiting factor for potential commuters, but conversely, this may also contribute to a more affordable property market compared to areas with strong commuter rail links.
