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 Value Opportunity
Upgrading the B2 BER rating could further enhance value; for example, moving to an A-rated status for a property of this size (102m²) might cost €5,000-€8,000 and could add €10,000-€15,000 in resale value while reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €500-€700 compared to its current B2 rating.
Space Efficiency
With 102m² and 3 bedrooms, this property offers a comfortable 34m² per bedroom, aligning well with typical family needs for properties in this size bracket.
Value Optimization
The property's asking price of €250,000 is significantly below the median sale price of €340,000 for similar terrace properties within 1km, indicating substantial room for value appreciation through minor cosmetic upgrades.
Hypothesis: The current B2 BER rating, while good, represents a missed opportunity for significant value enhancement; achieving an A-rating through targeted insulation and heating system upgrades could unlock an additional €10,000-€15,000 in property value, justifying the investment within 18-24 months.
Amenities
Connectivity Focus

Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' designation for Macroom, Co.
