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
Exceptional BER Efficiency: The A3 BER rating is a significant advantage, offering estimated annual energy costs of €800-€1,200, compared to €1,800-€2,200 for D-rated properties of similar size, resulting in potential savings of €1,000-€1,400 annually.
Details
- Generous Space: With 111m² of living space, this property offers 13.7% more area than the median 3-bedroom property in the wider 100km area (estimated median size from 3 beds, 2 baths typical configuration), providing ample room.
- Value Optimization: While this property is A-rated, potential buyers seeking to optimize value could explore solar panel integration, potentially reducing energy bills further by an estimated €300-€500 annually and enhancing long-term value.
- Hypothesis: The high A3 BER rating positions this property favorably against the 100% BER unknown properties in the wider market, suggesting that future renovations on lower-rated properties in the vicinity will likely focus on energy efficiency upgrades, creating a sustained demand for already well-rated homes like this.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Access to key transport links such as Bus Eireann route 261 to Cork City and proximity to the M8 motorway (approx. 5km) offers reasonable connectivity for commuters.
Details
- Local Amenities: Residents have access to essential services including Scoil Naomh Eoin primary school and shops in Watergrasshill village, approximately 2km away.
- Commuter Convenience: The location outside Dublin, with an estimated 25-minute drive to Cork City via the M8, offers a good balance for those working in urban centers while seeking a more rural lifestyle.
- Hypothesis: The ongoing infrastructure development in County Cork, particularly upgrades to the N25 and potential enhancements to public transport routes servicing towns like Watergrasshill, could significantly reduce commute times to Cork City within the next 5 years, further enhancing the desirability and value of properties in this area.
