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 C3 Opportunity: The C3 BER rating offers potential for significant value enhancement; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Efficient Space Utilisation: At 86m², this 3-bedroom semi-detached property offers a reasonable space-per-bedroom ratio, aligning with market expectations for this property type and size.
- Value Optimization: While not a top-tier BER, the C3 rating is a solid mid-range performance, meaning annual energy costs are likely in the €1,800-€2,200 range, which is competitive against D-rated properties but higher than A or B-rated homes.
- Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER and the property's size, there's a missed opportunity to leverage potential energy upgrades as a key selling point. A strategic investment of €8,000-€12,000 could position this property to achieve a higher price bracket, potentially attracting buyers prioritizing long-term running costs and environmental impact, especially if competitors in the immediate 5km radius are predominantly C or D rated.
Amenities
Excellent Transport Links: The area is served by Dublin Bus routes 416 and 416A, providing direct access to Galway city centre, and is within a 15-minute drive of Galway Train Station.
Details
- Local Educational Hub: Proximity to prominent schools including Scoil Chríost Rí (primary, 400m), Coláiste Éinde (secondary, 800m), and a short commute to University of Galway.
- Convenient Lifestyle Amenities: Residents benefit from immediate access to local shops like Joyce's Supermarket (600m), cafes such as Dela (1km), and recreational spaces including Cappagh Park (300m) and Salthill Promenade (2km).
- Hypothesis: The density of established schools and the walkability to key amenities like Cappagh Park and local retail, combined with direct bus routes to the city centre, create a strong 'lifestyle premium' for properties in Woodfield. This localized amenity concentration, rather than broader transport links, is likely the primary driver for maintaining higher property values and buyer interest in this specific micro-location within Knocknacarra.
