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
Small Footprint Impact: At 49m², this detached property is significantly smaller than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within a 100km radius, suggesting limited living space and potential for future expansion challenges.
Unspecified BER Impact: The BER rating of SI_666 is marked as 'Unknown' in the market metrics, providing no clear indication of energy efficiency, which is critical for operating costs and market appeal compared to surrounding properties where BER is also unknown.
Upgrade Potential: Given the unknown BER, investing in energy efficiency upgrades could range from €8,000 to €12,000 for a D to B2 rating, potentially increasing the property's value and desirability, but requires detailed assessment.
Hypothesis: The combination of a very small property size (49m²) and an unknown BER rating suggests this property may have been historically overlooked for upgrades, presenting a significant opportunity for a buyer to invest in modernization and energy efficiency to align with market expectations and potentially achieve substantial value uplift.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: The provided data does not specify any actual bus routes, train stations (e.g., Boyle train station is approximately 5km away), Luas, or DART stops serving Ardsoreen directly, suggesting a reliance on private transport.
Scattered Essential Services: While specific details are not provided, Boyle town itself typically offers essential services like primary schools (e.g., Scoil Naomh Padraig), healthcare clinics, and supermarkets (e.g., SuperValu), but their proximity and accessibility from Ardsoreen would require further investigation.
Rural Walkability Concerns: Located outside a major urban centre, walkability is likely limited, with pedestrian access probably dependent on local road infrastructure rather than dedicated walking paths or extensive local amenities within easy reach.
Hypothesis: The property's semi-rural location in Ardsoreen, Boyle, likely means that while core services are available in the town, the lack of specific public transport links and the need for private transport for most amenities could significantly impact its appeal to certain buyer demographics, particularly commuters or those prioritizing walkability.
