Price Distribution Analysis
4 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 · 42% 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
BER Improvement Potential: Upgrade D to B2 for €8,000-€12,000. Improvements could increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, with current estimated annual energy costs of €1,800-€2,200 compared to €800-€1,200 for B-rated properties.
Space Efficiency: Compact living at 70m². This size is typical for a 3-bedroom semi-detached home in many Irish markets, offering functional space for a small family.
Value Optimization: The BER D rating presents a clear opportunity for value enhancement through targeted energy efficiency upgrades, potentially yielding a positive return on investment.
Hypothesis: Given the D BER rating and the typical cost to upgrade, the €239,000 asking price may be factoring in the immediate need for such improvements, creating a scenario where a buyer who invests in energy efficiency could see a faster increase in their property's market value than in areas with already higher BER ratings.
Amenities
Connectivity Assessment: Bracknagh is served by Bus Éireann routes, which typically connect to larger towns for onward travel to major transport hubs like train stations, offering a functional, albeit not direct, link to national transport networks.
Local Services: Access to essential services including local shops and potentially a primary school within a reasonable driving distance, catering to daily needs.
Walkability and Access: While specific walking routes aren't detailed, the property's location in a residential park suggests it is likely within walking distance of local community facilities.
Hypothesis: The absence of specific high-frequency public transport links like Luas or DART within Bracknagh itself, coupled with its 'Outside Dublin' classification, strongly suggests that car ownership is a near necessity for accessing a wider range of amenities and employment centres, thereby influencing the long-term demand and potential for capital growth compared to better-connected suburban locations.

Common Questions
Bid strategy figures are derived from the Property Price Register — Ireland's official record of closed residential sale prices, verified through stamp duty. Floor area data comes from the SEAI BER register. Flood exposure is cross-referenced against OPW flood extent mapping (CFRAM fluvial + NCFHM coastal) and historical flood events. Planning activity is sourced from the National Planning Application Database via MyPlan.ie — merged Local Authority planning registers from the Department of Housing.
