How this is calculated
We search the Property Price Register for closed sales near this property — matching by location, beds, property type, and where available, floor area (±20%). This gives us a set of genuinely comparable transactions.
Each sale is then time-adjusted to today using local price trends, so a sale from 18 months ago is inflated (or deflated) to reflect current market conditions. Where floor area is known, sales are also size-adjusted — a 90m² sale is normalised to what it would have sold for at this property's size. This means the figures you see aren't raw prices — they're what those same homes would likely sell for today, at this size.
Your bid strategy (opening offer, sealed bid range, walk-away ceiling) is then derived from the statistical distribution of these adjusted sales — with conservative safety margins applied when data is thin or dated.
Every figure comes from actual government-recorded sale prices. No asking prices, no agent estimates, no automated valuations.

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
High Energy Efficiency: The A3 BER rating indicates excellent energy performance, with annual energy costs likely €1,000-€1,400 lower than comparable D-rated properties of similar size.
Value-Optimizing Potential: Upgrading this A3 BER to an A2 would incur minimal cost, possibly €1,000-€2,000, with negligible value increase but further marginal reduction in running costs.
Compact & Efficient Layout: The 67.0m² size with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is efficient for its type, suggesting good space utilization and appeal to couples or small families.
Hypothesis: The A3 BER rating, while excellent, represents a missed opportunity for marginal improvement; however, a focused €2,000-€3,000 investment in smart home technology could unlock an additional 5-10% premium on its value, leveraging its already high energy efficiency for a 'smart home' market appeal.
Amenities
Connectivity Hub: The area is served by Bus Éireann routes X51 and 24 which provide direct links to Galway City Centre, with the nearest stop approximately 500m away.
Local Essentials: Residents have convenient access to Galway Shopping Centre (2km) for retail and a Lidl supermarket (1km) for groceries.
Educational Proximity: Located within 2km of St. Oliver Plunkett's National School and Galway Community College, with the main Galway-Roscommon University Hospital Group a 15-minute drive away.
Hypothesis: The current bus routes serve basic connectivity, but the absence of a direct link to a major Luas or train station within a 3km radius positions this property for significant future value uplift should Galway City Council's proposed Light Rail Transit (LRT) expansion include Doughiska, a project that would dramatically enhance commuter appeal and property values.
