Price Distribution Analysis
2 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 · 13% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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
Energy Efficiency: With a C1 BER rating, annual energy costs are estimated to be between €1,400-€1,800, compared to an estimated €1,800-€2,200 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Space Optimization: At 78.0m², this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment offers a good balance of space and efficiency for its type.
Value Enhancement Potential: Upgrading the C1 BER to a B2 could cost approximately €7,000-€10,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €12,000-€18,000 and enhancing its market appeal.
Hypothesis: Given the C1 BER rating, targeted insulation upgrades to common areas of Aldercourt, such as hallways and the roof, costing an estimated €20,000-€30,000 for the entire block, could collectively improve the building's overall energy efficiency and attract higher prices for individual units.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Ferns is served by Bus Éireann routes which connect to Gorey town, providing access to regional transport links and onward travel.
Local Conveniences: Within Ferns village, residents have access to local shops, pharmacies, and primary schools, offering essential services within walking distance.
Community Facilities: The area boasts local restaurants and cafes, contributing to a vibrant village atmosphere and providing lifestyle amenities for residents.
Hypothesis: The proposed N25 bypass improvements in the wider Wexford area, while not directly impacting Ferns village, could indirectly enhance commute times to larger towns and cities, making Ferns a more attractive residential location and potentially boosting property values.
