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
BER Energy Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading this C2 BER rating property to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing its market value by €15,000-€20,000 and aligning it with the 8.15% average price growth in the last 30 days.
Details
- Size Efficiency: The property's 92.0m² size is consistent with the average property size of 90.5m² sold within a 1km radius over the past 180 days, indicating it is well-matched to local buyer preferences.
- Value Optimization Potential: The asking price of €299,950 is 15.9% below the estimated value of €351,530, suggesting a significant opportunity for buyers to acquire at a considerable discount, provided underlying factors justify the model's valuation.
- Hypothesis: Given that 100% of properties sold above asking in the last 30 days within 1km, a C2 BER rating, while acceptable, presents a clear opportunity to enhance future capital growth and immediate appeal by investing in energy efficiency upgrades that could unlock an additional 5-7% value, as seen in the significant increase in median price per sqm over 30 days compared to 180 days.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Balbriggan is served by Dublin Bus routes 33, 33a, and 33b, providing direct access to Dublin City Centre, and is also near the M1 motorway, facilitating commuter access.
Details
- Local Education Hub: The area benefits from St. Molaga's National School and Bremore Educate Together National School within a short distance, alongside Balbriggan Community College for secondary education.
- Retail and Recreation: Residents have access to local shopping facilities at The Square, Balbriggan, including Tesco and Dunnes Stores, as well as nearby parks like Bremore Regional Park for outdoor activities.
- Hypothesis: While Balbriggan offers essential services and transport links, its location on the northern edge of Co. Dublin means that its future value appreciation may be more closely tied to specific local infrastructure investments, such as proposed enhancements to the Drogheda-Dublin rail corridor or development of local employment hubs, rather than city-wide trends.
