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 · 16% 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
BER Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D1 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.
Energy Cost Projection: With a D1 BER, annual energy costs are estimated at €1,800-€2,200, whereas a B2 rating would reduce this to €800-€1,200, offering a saving of €1,000-€1,400 annually.
Spacious Apartment Layout: The 120m² size for a 2-bedroom apartment is generous, offering ample living space which is a positive quality indicator for this property type.
Hypothesis: The substantial discrepancy between the D1 BER and the 100km radius median BER (unknown, but typically a mix) suggests that a targeted energy efficiency upgrade program, focusing on insulation and heating systems, could unlock significant value and appeal in this specific market segment, especially given the property's size.
D1 BER Investment: The current D1 BER rating necessitates an estimated €8,000-€12,000 investment to reach a B2 rating, which could then boost the property's market value by an additional €15,000-€20,000.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: Moate is not served by Luas or DART, and the nearest train station is Athlone (approx. 15km away), relying primarily on Bus Éireann services like route 20.
Essential Local Services: Within Moate town, residents have access to St. Ciaran's National School, pharmacies, and local shops, providing basic amenities within walking distance.
Regional Connectivity: While Moate itself has limited direct transport, its proximity to the M6 motorway (approx. 7km) offers reasonable access to larger hubs like Athlone and Galway within a drivable distance.
Hypothesis: The property's 'Outside Dublin' location and reliance on Bus Éireann route 20 for public transport suggest a strong dependence on private vehicle ownership for accessing wider amenities and employment centers, making future infrastructure developments in public transport or local job creation key drivers for long-term value appreciation.
Moate Amenities Access: Residents of Convent Court can walk to essential amenities including St. Ciaran's National School (under 1km), local pharmacies, and convenience stores, with Bus Éireann route 20 providing the primary public transport link.
