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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading the C3 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a tangible return on investment.
Details
- Size Efficiency: The 75m² size for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment is standard for the area, offering efficient use of space without feeling cramped.
- Value Optimization: With a median sale price of €250,243, the current estimated value is €14,757 below the asking price, presenting an opportunity to negotiate down from the €265,000 asking price for a better value acquisition.
- Hypothesis: The consistent median of 2 bathrooms across all radii (10km, 20km, 50km, 100km) for properties sold suggests that 2 bathrooms are a standard and desirable feature in this market, and maintaining or enhancing this configuration in any future renovations would likely support property value.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific local bus routes and train stations are not detailed in the provided data for Saleen, Castlebar, access to broader regional transport infrastructure would be key for commute planning.
Details

- Lifestyle Access: The area around Castlebar provides access to amenities like McHale Park for sporting events and recreational activities, as well as various local restaurants and cafes, contributing to quality of life.
