Price Distribution Analysis
4 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median of comparable sales. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed.
This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position.
Financial Exposure · 22% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

Sale prices in this area vary more than usual, so there is some uncertainty in the figures. Bid conservatively and in small increments.
Limited recent transaction volume reduces trend precision. Strategy remains anchored to closed-sale distribution.

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 Rating Upgrade: Upgrading the C2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €7,000 - €10,000 and is estimated to increase the property's value by €12,000 - €18,000.
Annual Energy Savings: With a C2 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be €1,500-€1,900, compared to €900-€1,300 for a B-rated property of similar size, offering potential savings of €600-€1,000 annually.
Space Efficiency: This 120m² apartment offers a large living space for a 3-bedroom configuration, aligning well with the median 3-bed and 3.5-bed properties found within 20km.
Hypothesis: The C2 BER rating, while not poor, presents a clear opportunity for value enhancement; investing in energy efficiency upgrades could not only yield significant annual savings but also position the property competitively against newer builds or those with superior ratings in the broader 50km market where BER is often a key differentiator.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Moate is served by Bus Éireann routes 747 connecting to Athlone and 750 connecting to Mullingar, offering reasonable public transport links, though direct train or Luas services are not available locally.
Local Facilities: Within Moate, residents have access to amenities such as Moate Community School, St. Brigid's National School, a local pharmacy, and a variety of shops and cafes along the main street.
Walkability and Services: The property's location on Church Lane offers good walkability to Moate town centre, with essential services like shops, post office, and healthcare clinics within a 1km radius.
Hypothesis: While Moate provides essential local amenities and bus connectivity, the absence of direct rail or Luas links within a convenient radius for commuters to major cities means that the property's appeal will be stronger to those prioritizing a more rural lifestyle or local employment over daily city commutes.
