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
Substantial BER Upgrade Needed: A D1 BER rating indicates significant potential for improvement; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €15,000-€20,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €25,000-€30,000.
Compact Living Space: At 52m², this apartment is on the smaller side compared to the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found within 100km, suggesting potential space constraints for some buyers.
Value Optimization Gap: The asking price of €120,000 for a D1 rated, 52m² 2-bedroom apartment appears high when considering the median sale price of €210,000 for properties within 100km with a similar or higher number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
Hypothesis: The D1 BER rating presents a clear opportunity for capital investment to enhance energy efficiency and market appeal, with the cost of upgrades potentially offset by a future increase in valuation, making it a financially prudent move for a buyer seeking long-term value.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport Connectivity: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops mentioned as directly serving Brú Na Mara, Donegal, Donegal Town, implying reliance on private transport.
Basic Local Services Identified: While specific facilities are not detailed, the location in Donegal Town suggests access to essential services typical of a regional hub.
Walkability Assessment Unclear: Without specific street names or pedestrian infrastructure details for Brú Na Mara, assessing walkability and pedestrian access is not possible from the provided data.
Hypothesis: The lack of specified transport and detailed local amenities suggests that properties in Brú Na Mara may appeal more to those seeking a quieter, potentially more rural lifestyle, or those who prioritize proximity to Donegal Town's core services rather than direct public transport links to larger urban centres.
