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: The property has a 'SI_666' BER rating, which is likely poor. Upgrading from a 'D' to a 'B2' rated BER would likely cost €8,000-€12,000 and could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Size Efficiency: With 120m² of living space and 3 bedrooms, the property offers a reasonable size for a family, fitting well within the €1,937.5 per sqm median price within 1km.
Value Optimization: Given the likely poor BER rating, investing in energy efficiency upgrades could significantly reduce annual energy costs, estimated to be €1,800-€2,200 for a 'D' rated property, compared to €800-€1,200 for a 'B' rated property of this size.
Hypothesis: The current BER rating presents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; a strategic investment in insulation, heating systems, and windows could not only reduce running costs by an estimated €1,000-€1,400 annually but also significantly boost market appeal and resale value, especially as energy efficiency becomes a primary buyer consideration.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: The area is not directly served by specific Dublin Bus routes, Luas stops, or train stations mentioned in typical urban connectivity data, suggesting reliance on private transport.
Local Facilities: Specific primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, and healthcare facilities are not detailed in the provided data, indicating a need for travel to larger towns for these services.
Green Space Access: While not specified, rural locations like Walsh Island often offer proximity to natural landscapes, which can appeal to buyers seeking a quieter lifestyle.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport routes (e.g., Bus Éireann routes) and readily available urban amenities within very close proximity to Walsh Island suggests that property value is more closely tied to the inherent cost of land and housing stock rather than premium location factors, a trend that could shift if local infrastructure investment is announced.
