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
Generous Size: The property boasts a substantial size of 157.0m², which is significantly larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms commonly seen in the broader market data (e.g., 100km median beds: 3.0, median baths: 2.0).
Details
- C3 BER Rating: The C3 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading from a D to a B2 rating for a property of this size could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase its value by €15,000-€20,000, while offering annual savings of around €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property.
- Configuration Mismatch: With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this property's configuration is more substantial than the median within 10km (3.5 beds, 2 baths) and 100km (3 beds, 2 baths), potentially appealing to a niche buyer but possibly limiting broader market appeal if the market primarily seeks smaller properties.
- Hypothesis: The C3 BER rating, while not poor, presents an opportunity for value enhancement; investing in energy efficiency upgrades could align this property more closely with the growing demand for sustainable homes and command a premium, particularly if local market trends show a preference for higher BER ratings.
Amenities
Limited Local Data: Specific details on transport connectivity, educational facilities, healthcare access, shopping, childcare, and walkability are not provided in the raw data for Rossnowlagh, Co. Donegal.
Details
- Remote Location Indicators: The property is listed as 'Outside Dublin,' and the broader market data (100km radius) shows a median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with an average asking price of €225,988, suggesting a more rural or less densely populated area.
- Potential Isolation: With no specific local amenities mentioned, buyers should anticipate a reliance on private transport and longer travel times to access significant services and amenities typically found in larger towns or cities.
- Hypothesis: Given the lack of specific amenity data for Rossnowlagh and the 'Outside Dublin' classification, it is highly probable that this property's value and buyer appeal are significantly driven by its unique coastal/rural setting and lifestyle offering, rather than proximity to urban conveniences, implying a niche market focus.
