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
Good BER Rating: The B3 BER rating is strong, indicating good energy efficiency that would cost approximately €1,000-€1,400 less annually in energy bills compared to a D-rated property of similar size.
Details
- Efficient Size: At 98.0m², the property offers a good balance of living space for a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom semi-detached home, fitting well within typical market expectations.
- Value Optimization: With a B3 rating, investing in minor insulation upgrades or smart heating controls could push the BER to a B2, potentially increasing property value by €10,000-€15,000 and further reducing annual energy costs by €200-€300.
- Hypothesis: Given the B3 BER, focusing on enhancing the airtightness and insulation of this 98m² property could yield a 2-point BER improvement (e.g., to B1) for an investment of €4,000-€6,000, potentially adding €8,000-€12,000 in resale value and creating a more attractive proposition for eco-conscious buyers.
Amenities
Connectivity: Macroom is served by Bus Éireann routes, including the 236, providing links to Cork City, and while no Luas or DART exist, it offers access to regional bus networks.
Details
- Local Services: The property's location in Lios Na Fea, Macroom, offers proximity to amenities such as SuperValu Macroom for shopping, Scoil Mhuire and St. Colman's National School for education, and Macroom Community Hospital for healthcare.
- Leisure Access: Residents can enjoy local parks like The Hollow and access to sports facilities, contributing to a good quality of life, with walking routes along the River Lee nearby.
- Hypothesis: The upcoming N22 bypass completion for Macroom is likely to significantly improve commuter access to Cork City, potentially increasing demand for properties like this by reducing travel times and enhancing its appeal to those working in the city but seeking a more rural lifestyle.
