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 Potential: Upgrading the D BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Energy Cost Discrepancy: With a D BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, significantly higher than the €800-€1,200 estimated for B-rated properties of similar size in the area.
Space Efficiency: At 67.0m², this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom semi-detached property is a compact offering, which may appeal to first-time buyers or those seeking lower maintenance but could be smaller than the average dwelling in more developed areas.
Hypothesis: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades for this D-rated property could yield a higher return on investment than in areas with lower average energy costs, as the perceived value of energy savings is amplified in regions with higher baseline energy expenditure for comparable homes.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: There are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops explicitly listed as serving Walsh Island directly, suggesting a reliance on private transport.
Local Services: Specific nearby shopping, healthcare, and educational facilities for Walsh Island are not detailed in the provided data, indicating a need for travel to larger towns for comprehensive amenities.
Rural Lifestyle Focus: The property's location in Walsh Island, Co. Offaly, outside of Dublin, suggests a focus on a quieter, rural lifestyle with potentially fewer immediate amenities compared to urban or suburban settings.
Hypothesis: The median sale price within 1km (€210,000) being significantly lower than the 3km median sale price per sqm (€2,428.57) implies that accessibility to larger service centres, rather than the immediate rural setting itself, is a key driver of property value in this region.
