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 Upgrade Opportunity: With a D1 BER rating, upgrading to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 but is projected to increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a smart investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: The 74m² size of this apartment is comparable to the median size within a 10km radius, which typically features 3 bedrooms, indicating that while the size is standard, the 2-bedroom configuration may limit its appeal to larger families in the area.
- Value Optimization Potential: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades for the D1 BER rating could not only improve comfort but also enhance the property's marketability and resale value, particularly when compared to the higher energy efficiency standards seen in a broader 50km radius market where the median BER is not specified but likely varies.
- Hypothesis: Given the D1 BER rating and the market's increasing focus on energy efficiency, retrofitting this apartment to achieve a B-rated BER could unlock a significant premium, potentially exceeding the typical value increase seen for upgrades within the broader 100km radius market due to Athy's specific development plans.
Amenities
Connectivity to Regional Hubs: While specific bus routes are not detailed, Athy is served by Bus Eireann routes providing connections to Dublin and other towns, and is within reasonable driving distance to larger transport hubs for commuter access.
Details
- Local Amenities Abound: Athy offers essential local amenities including a Lidl supermarket, primary and secondary schools like Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál and Athy Vocational School, and healthcare services such as the Athy Primary Care Centre.
- Commuter Accessibility: The property's location outside Dublin means it likely benefits from lower asking prices compared to the €352,235 average asking price within 100km over 30 days, while still offering potential connectivity to the capital via road networks.
- Hypothesis: The ongoing development and proposed infrastructure upgrades in the Athy region, including potential enhancements to public transport links towards Dublin, suggest that properties like this apartment are poised for significant amenity-driven value growth that is not yet fully reflected in the current asking price compared to the wider 100km market.
