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
Moderate Energy Efficiency: This 63m² apartment holds a C3 BER rating, indicating moderate energy efficiency. Upgrading from a C3 to a B2 rating might involve an investment of approximately €5,000-€9,000 (e.g., improved insulation, heating system upgrades), potentially increasing the property's value by €10,000-€15,000 and leading to annual energy savings.
Details
- Efficient Use of Space: At 63m² with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property aligns with the local median of 2 bedrooms, but it is smaller than the average property size of 81m² within a 1km radius. This indicates an efficient layout for apartment living, appealing to singles, couples, or small families seeking a compact, well-located residence.
- Apartment Dominance in Local Market: Apartments constitute 42% of local sales within a 1km radius, making them a significant property type in the area's sales distribution. This suggests a well-established market for apartments, indicating stability and demand for this specific property type in Dublin 8.
- Hypothesis: Investing in minor energy efficiency upgrades (e.g., smart heating controls, LED lighting, or additional insulation where feasible) could further enhance the property's appeal, reduce running costs for future owners, and potentially improve its marketability, leading to a faster sale at a better price.
Amenities
Exceptional Transport Connectivity: Located on Cork Street, the apartment benefits from excellent public transport links. The Luas Red Line is easily accessible at the Rialto stop (approx. 800m walk) or Fatima (approx. 600m walk), providing direct access to the city centre, Connolly Station, and Tallaght. Numerous Dublin Bus routes, including 27, 56a, 77a, and 151, serve the area along Cork Street and South Circular Road, offering extensive connections across the city.

- Access to Education and Healthcare: Families have access to several primary and secondary schools within a short distance, such as St. Enda's National School and Presentation Secondary School. The proximity to major hospitals like St. James's ensures immediate access to healthcare facilities, a significant advantage for residents.
