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 Upgrade Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, yet potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, while reducing annual energy costs from approximately €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Efficient & Well-Equipped: At 91m² with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this semi-detached property offers an efficient layout that exceeds the local 5km median of 2 bathrooms, enhancing its appeal and functionality for families.
- Value Maximisation Potential: Positioned with an asking price below its estimated value and boasting a premium 3-bathroom configuration, this property offers immediate upside potential for buyers looking for a home with above-average amenities for its size.
- Hypothesis: While the D2 BER presents an opportunity for a value-adding upgrade, the property's 3-bathroom configuration for a 91m² semi-D is a distinct advantage in a market where the median is 2 bathrooms, suggesting that modern internal amenities are increasingly valued by local buyers over basic energy efficiency in initial purchasing decisions.
Amenities
Accessible Regional Links: The property benefits from good regional connectivity via Ballina Train Station (approximately 2km), offering rail services, while local Bus Éireann routes connect Ballina to major towns like Castlebar, Sligo, and Dublin.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Services: Daily needs are well-catered for with Tesco Superstore (approximately 1km), several GP clinics within 2km, and multiple pharmacies in Ballina town centre, ensuring easy access to essential shopping and healthcare.
- Family-Friendly Environment: Families will appreciate proximity to Scoil Phádraig Primary School (approximately 1km) and Ballina Community School (approximately 1.5km), alongside recreational options like Aura Leisure Centre and the scenic River Moy walks, all within a 2km radius.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Orchard Court, slightly removed from Ballina's immediate bustling town centre, could command a premium for families seeking a quieter residential setting while retaining excellent access to schools, supermarkets, and leisure facilities within a convenient 1-2km radius, enhancing long-term family appeal.
