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 Advantage: A 'B' BER rating suggests reasonable energy efficiency, potentially resulting in annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600, significantly lower than a typical D-rated property of similar size costing €1,800-€2,200 annually.
Space Efficiency: With 104m² across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this duplex offers a good balance of living space and bedrooms for its size, at approximately €3,462 per square meter based on the asking price.
Value Optimization: The asking price of €360,000 is €22,023 below the estimated value of €382,023, offering immediate potential for value uplift through minor cosmetic improvements or by simply waiting for market appreciation.
Hypothesis: While the 'B' BER is good, a strategic investment of €5,000-€8,000 to upgrade to an 'A' rating could further reduce annual energy bills by an estimated €400-€600 and increase the property's resale value by €10,000-€15,000, making it a financially prudent enhancement in the competitive Ballincollig market.
