PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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 C1 Investment Opportunity: Upgrading the C1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and significantly reducing future energy bills.
Details
- Spacious Accommodation: With 120m² of living space and 3 bedrooms, this property offers a generous size compared to the median of 3 bedrooms within a 5km radius, providing ample room for families.
- Potential Value Optimization: Addressing the BER rating could unlock significant value, as properties with lower BER ratings like this often incur higher annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200 compared to €800-€1,200 for B-rated properties of similar size.
- Hypothesis: While the property's size and BER are adequate, the significant gap between its asking price and achieved local sale prices, combined with its C1 BER rating, indicates an opportunity for a buyer to improve the property's energy efficiency and potentially capture a higher market value through targeted upgrades.
Amenities
Connectivity to Local Transport: While not directly served by DART or Luas, Carlow town has bus services connecting to Dublin and other regional centers; however, specific local bus routes serving Blackbog Road are not detailed in the provided data, requiring further investigation for direct commute times.
Details
- Local Services and Facilities: Carlow town center, approximately 5km away, offers a range of amenities including supermarkets like Tesco and Lidl, retail outlets, and educational institutions such as Carlow Institute of Technology and local primary and secondary schools, contributing to lifestyle convenience.
- Healthcare Access: The property is located relatively close to Carlow town, which provides access to healthcare facilities including Carlow District Hospital and various local clinics and pharmacies, ensuring essential services are within reach.
- Hypothesis: The property's location outside of Dublin suggests a greater reliance on regional transport hubs and local Carlow town amenities, which, while comprehensive, may not offer the same level of direct commuter convenience or amenity density as properties closer to major urban centers, potentially impacting its appeal to certain buyer demographics.
