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
Superior Energy Efficiency: The A2 BER rating is likely to result in annual energy costs of €800-€1,200, a significant saving compared to an estimated €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property of similar size in the local area.
Details
- Spacious Family Home: With 127m² and 4 bedrooms, this property offers ample space, aligning with the '4+ Bed' category prevalent in the 10km radius where the median beds is 4.0, suggesting it meets family size demands.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Upgrading from an A2 BER to a higher rating is unlikely to offer significant financial returns given its already excellent status; focus should be on maintaining its current high standard for long-term value retention.
- Hypothesis: The A2 BER rating, while excellent, is not yet common in the local market, with 100% of properties in the 10km radius having unknown BERs in the last 180 days, indicating that this property's premium may be partly driven by its pioneering energy efficiency, which could become a standard expectation for future premium properties.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Connectivity: The provided data for Fountain Cross, Co. Clare, does not list specific bus routes, train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations directly serving this immediate area, suggesting reliance on private transport.
Details
- Local Amenities Focus: While specific retail, healthcare, or educational facilities are not detailed for Fountain Cross, Co. Clare, its 'Outside Dublin' location suggests a focus on local services rather than urban hubs, potentially requiring travel for specialised needs.
- Potential for Outdoor Lifestyle: Given its rural setting, the property likely offers access to natural amenities like parks or walking trails, contributing to a potentially desirable lifestyle for those seeking space and tranquility, though specific examples are not provided.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport and urban amenity data for Fountain Cross suggests that its property value is primarily driven by its natural surroundings and rural appeal, rather than connectivity or proximity to major services, implying that future development of local infrastructure could significantly boost property values.
