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
Excellent Energy Efficiency: With an A3 BER rating, this property's annual energy costs are likely between €800 - €1,200, offering significant savings compared to C or D rated homes in the area which could range from €1,500 - €2,000 annually.
Spacious Family Home: The 149m² size with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms positions it as a large detached property, aligning well with the market trend for family homes, as evidenced by the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within 100km.
Value Optimization Potential: While already high quality, investing in minor landscaping or interior updates could further enhance its market appeal, especially considering that 58% of properties within 100km sold above asking price, indicating buyers are willing to pay a premium for well-presented homes.
Hypothesis: Given the strong demand for quality homes and the A3 BER rating, a minor investment of €5,000-€10,000 in enhancing the property's curb appeal or modernising bathrooms could yield a value uplift of €15,000-€25,000, capitalising on the market's willingness to pay for premium finishes and efficiency.
Amenities
Connectivity via Bus: The property is likely served by Bus Éireann routes connecting Carlow Town to surrounding areas and potentially Dublin, offering accessible public transport options.
Local Educational Hub: Carlow Town boasts several educational facilities, including Carlow Institute of Technology, St. Leo's College, and Presentation College, providing a strong offering for residents.
Convenient Retail Access: Local amenities in Carlow Town include the Fairgreen Shopping Centre and various supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, meeting everyday shopping needs.
Hypothesis: The presence of Carlow Institute of Technology and established primary/secondary schools in Carlow Town, combined with improving public transport links, suggests Carlow is becoming an increasingly attractive location for students, young families, and commuters seeking a balance between regional affordability and access to amenities, which could drive future property value growth.
