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 Impact: With a C1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,400-€1,800, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for D-rated properties of similar size.
Value Optimization: Upgrading from a C1 BER to a B2 could cost €6,000-€10,000 and potentially increase property value by €10,000-€15,000, offering a good return on investment.
Space Configuration: The property offers 115m² with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a configuration that is well-suited for family living and aligns with typical demand for larger homes.
Hypothesis: While the C1 BER rating is respectable, investing in further energy efficiency upgrades could unlock an additional €10,000-€15,000 in value, turning a cost into a profitable enhancement, especially given the €73,789 price standard deviation within 1km which allows for value differentiation.
Amenities
Connectivity: While specific bus routes and train stations for Carraig An Áird are not detailed in the raw data, Waterford City is served by Bus Éireann routes connecting to major towns and cities.
Local Services: The area is likely to benefit from Waterford City's amenities, including numerous schools like Presentation Primary School and St. Augustine's Primary School, and shopping facilities such as City Square Shopping Centre.
Healthcare Access: Proximity to University Hospital Waterford provides comprehensive healthcare services, with local pharmacies and GP clinics expected to be within a reasonable distance.
Hypothesis: Given Carraig An Áird's location on the outskirts of Waterford City, a lack of direct public transport route numbers in the data suggests that private vehicle ownership is likely essential for convenient access to employment hubs and wider retail, potentially impacting appeal for public transport-reliant buyers.
