Price Distribution Analysis
4 verified closed sales within 3.0km · 24 months. Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median transaction level. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed.
This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position.
Financial Exposure · 16% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.
If purchased at asking
€190,000
Above transaction median

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 Improvement Opportunity: The C3 BER rating suggests potential for energy efficiency upgrades; improving to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Size Efficiency: At 78m², this 3-bedroom house is of a medium size category, which aligns with the median 3-bed configuration (3.0 median_beds) seen in markets within 10km and 100km.
- Value Optimization: With a C3 BER, the estimated annual energy costs are likely higher than a B-rated property; comparable B-rated homes in the area might see savings of €800-€1,200 annually compared to the current rating.
- Hypothesis: The property's 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration for 78m² might present a layout inefficiency compared to the median 2 bathrooms within a 10km radius, suggesting that a potential buyer might consider a reconfiguration to increase appeal and value.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Portlaoise is served by Bus Éireann routes such as the 600 (Dublin-Cork via Portlaoise) and direct services to major towns, and has a train station on the Dublin-Limerick line for commuter access.
Details
- Local Services: Residents have access to various amenities including Portlaoise General Hospital, a range of primary and secondary schools like Holy Family School and Portlaoise College, and shopping facilities at Laois Shopping Centre.
- Walkability & Recreation: The area offers pedestrian-friendly zones and access to parks like the Emo Court & Gardens (10km drive) and local green spaces, facilitating an active lifestyle for residents.
- Hypothesis: The development of direct public transport links between Portlaoise and key employment hubs outside of Dublin, beyond the current intercity rail, could significantly boost commuter appeal and property values within a 5km radius of Portlaoise town centre.
