Price Distribution Analysis
3 verified closed sales within 3.0km · 24 months. Size-adjusted for similar homes (type match, beds ±1, size ±20%). Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median of comparable sales. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed. Median anchored to size-similar transactions.
This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position — size-adjusted.
Financial Exposure · 18% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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 Energy Efficiency: With a B3 BER rating, this property is expected to have annual energy costs of approximately €1,400 - €1,800, significantly lower than a comparable D-rated property which could cost €1,800 - €2,200 annually.
Efficient Layout: The 91.0m² townhouse with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms offers a good space-to-room ratio, aligning well with typical family needs and market expectations for this property type.
Value Optimization Potential: While a B3 rating is good, upgrading to a B2 rating would likely cost between €3,000 - €5,000 and could increase the property's value by an estimated €6,000 - €10,000, representing a solid return on investment.
Hypothesis: The B3 BER rating suggests the property likely has adequate insulation and an efficient heating system, but further investment in technologies like solar panels, costing an estimated €3,000 - €6,000, could elevate the BER rating to A3 and potentially reduce annual energy costs by a further €400 - €600, enhancing long-term value and market appeal.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Links: The area is served by Dublin Bus routes 41, 41C, 41X, and 102, providing direct access to Dublin Airport and the city centre, with the nearest stop approximately 300m away.
Convenient Shopping: Residents have easy access to The Pavilion Shopping Centre, featuring major retailers like Dunnes Stores and Penneys, and a local Lidl supermarket is also within a 500m walk.
Strong Educational Access: Nearby educational facilities include St. Cronan's National School (600m), St. Olaf's National School (800m), and Swords Educate Together National School (900m), catering to primary education needs.
Hypothesis: The proximity to both the R132 and M1 motorway, combined with numerous Dublin Bus routes serving the immediate area, suggests that despite not having a Luas or DART station within walking distance, commute times to central Dublin are likely competitive with areas further out that rely solely on rail links, offering a unique value proposition for commuters seeking a balance of accessibility and suburban living.
