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 Advantage: The C3 BER rating offers moderate energy efficiency, likely resulting in annual energy costs of €1,400-€1,800, compared to €2,000-€2,600 for a G-rated property of similar size.
Value Optimization Potential: Upgrading from a C3 BER to a B2 rating could cost approximately €6,000-€9,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €10,000-€15,000, presenting a clear return on investment.
Efficient Layout: This 55m² apartment with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom is efficiently configured for its size, offering good space utilization for urban living.
Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER rating, future buyers may prioritize properties with higher energy efficiency, suggesting that proactive investment in insulation and heating upgrades could yield a higher resale value and attract a broader pool of environmentally conscious buyers, potentially closing the gap with properties in the €396,000 median range.
Amenities
Central Transport Hub: Dominick Street is a core city centre location, well-served by numerous bus routes including those connecting to national transport networks, and is within walking distance of Galway Train Station.
Extensive Urban Facilities: The property is surrounded by key amenities including University Hospital Galway, Lidl and Tesco supermarkets, and the Eyre Square Shopping Centre, offering unparalleled convenience.
Vibrant Lifestyle Hub: Residents have immediate access to numerous restaurants like McDonagh's, cafes such as Mocha Beans, and green spaces like the Spanish Arch and the Claddagh, promoting a high quality of life.
Hypothesis: The high density of amenities and strong transport links within the Galway City Centre, particularly around Dominick Street, creates a competitive advantage for apartments like this, potentially commanding a rental yield premium of 10-15% compared to similar-sized apartments in more suburban locations, even with a C3 BER rating.
