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 Rating Investment Opportunity: With a BER rating of SI_666 (likely indicative of a D rating or worse), upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Spacious Living Area: The 187.0m² size offers ample living space, which is likely a positive attribute in the Limerick market, though its configuration relative to local demand for 3-bedroom detached homes warrants further investigation.
Value Optimization Potential: Focusing on improving the BER rating from SI_666 to a higher band could unlock significant value, as improved energy efficiency is increasingly a key selling point and cost-saving factor for buyers in Co. Limerick.
Hypothesis: The SI_666 BER rating suggests potential for substantial capital appreciation through energy efficiency upgrades, particularly if the neighbouring properties within the 1km radius have higher BER ratings, creating a clear market differentiator.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: Information on specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops serving Ballycannon, Croagh, V94EVH3 directly is not provided, suggesting a reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Essential Local Services: While specific names are unavailable, the area likely has access to essential services such as local shops, primary schools, and potentially a local doctor's clinic or pharmacy, which are standard for rural Co. Limerick.
Rural Lifestyle Amenities: The location suggests access to local GAA clubs, community centres, and potentially walking routes through surrounding countryside, catering to a more rural lifestyle preference.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Ballycannon, Croagh, Co. Limerick, which is outside of major urban centres, suggests a market where private transport is essential, and property value is more heavily influenced by proximity to local towns like Rathkeale or Newcastle West for key amenities rather than public transport hubs.
