Price Distribution Analysis
3 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Size-adjusted for similar homes (type match, beds ±1, size ±20%). Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median of comparable sales. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed. Median anchored to size-similar transactions.
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 — size-adjusted.
Financial Exposure · 14% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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
Energy Efficiency Gap: With a C1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Annual Energy Savings: A C1 BER suggests annual energy costs are likely €1,500-€1,900, compared to €800-€1,200 for an A2 rated property of similar size.
Size Efficiency: At 120m², this 3-bedroom semi-detached home offers a good balance of space for family living, aligning with typical requirements in many areas.
Hypothesis: The C1 BER rating, while average, presents a clear investment opportunity; targeted upgrades to achieve a B rating could yield a €3,000-€8,000 ROI on energy costs alone within five years, alongside value uplift.
Amenities
Connectivity Limitations: The property's 'Outside Dublin' location suggests limited direct public transport options to major city hubs; research would be needed for specific bus routes and train station access in Co. Laois.
Local Services: Specific local amenities such as schools (e.g., Scoil Naomh Pádraig), shops (e.g., Centra Swan), and healthcare facilities (e.g., Portlaoise Hospital approx. 15km) would require direct verification for the R14DK07 postal code.
Pedestrian Access: The walkability and pedestrian access are dependent on the specific village infrastructure of The Swan, Co. Laois, with local amenities likely clustered centrally.
Hypothesis: The 'Outside Dublin' designation for this Co. Laois property implies a reliance on car transport for access to a wider range of amenities, suggesting a buyer profile that values rural tranquility over immediate urban connectivity, potentially limiting a broad buyer pool.
