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 Impact: With an E1 BER rating, upgrading to a C1 rating would likely cost approximately €10,000-€15,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €18,000-€25,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €1,000-€1,400.
Size Efficiency: At 43m², this 1-bedroom property is compact; however, its price per square meter at the asking price of €2,907 is higher than the 1km median of €2,766, suggesting the pricing is not driven by size alone.
Value Optimization: To maximize value, investing in BER upgrades is crucial, as properties with E ratings are less attractive to buyers focused on long-term running costs; a targeted upgrade could yield a return of approximately 120% to 167% on the investment in terms of value uplift.
Hypothesis: Given the E1 BER rating, a focused energy efficiency upgrade to at least a C rating could unlock an additional €18,000-€25,000 in value, which represents a significant portion of the current €34,000 price difference between the asking price and the local median sale price for similar properties.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Graiguecullen is served by Bus Éireann routes, with local services connecting to Carlow town center, from where onward connections to Dublin are available; there are no direct Luas, DART, or train stations in Graiguecullen itself.
Educational and Healthcare Facilities: The area is within proximity of local primary schools such as St Fiacc's National School and secondary schools in Carlow town, while local health services are available at the Graiguecullen Medical Centre and Carlow District Hospital.
Local Shopping and Recreation: Graiguecullen offers local shops and supermarkets, while Carlow town provides a wider retail selection including the Fairgreen Shopping Centre, along with amenities like the Ducketts Grove historical site and local parks for recreation.
Hypothesis: The lack of direct public transport links within Graiguecullen, requiring a connection via Carlow town for national routes, positions this property as less attractive for daily commuters to Dublin compared to properties with direct access to train stations or Luas lines, potentially capping its value unless local amenities and community living are the primary drivers for buyers.
