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
Energy Efficiency Advantage: With a C3 BER rating, this property offers good energy efficiency, with estimated annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600, which is significantly lower than the €1,800-€2,200 typical for D-rated properties of similar size, potentially saving €600-€1,000 annually.
Details
- Optimal Configuration: The property's 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom align with the median bedroom count (3.0) and bathroom count (1.0) for properties sold within a 5km radius over the last 180 days, suggesting a conventional layout for the immediate local market.
- Consistent Sizing: At 120m², the bungalow falls into the 'Large' size category, offering ample space consistent with or exceeding many properties in rural settings, which is a desirable attribute for family buyers seeking room to grow.
- Hypothesis: While the C3 BER offers immediate energy savings, investing an estimated €4,000-€8,000 to upgrade the single bathroom to a second bathroom, aligning with the 2-bathroom median in the wider 10km radius, could significantly boost market appeal and potentially add €10,000-€15,000 to the property's value.
Amenities
Car-Dependent Connectivity: Located in rural Carrigkerry, Co. Limerick, transport connectivity is primarily reliant on private vehicles; while local link bus services may operate, direct access to specific public transport like DART, Luas, or train stations is not applicable to this area.
Details
- Local Essentials and Regional Access: Essential services include Carrigkerry National School and a local shop in the village, with broader amenities such as secondary schools (e.g., Desmond College, Scoil Mhuire agus Íde), larger supermarkets (SuperValu, Tesco), and healthcare facilities (GP clinics, pharmacies, University Hospital Limerick) available in nearby Newcastle West (approx. 10km away).
- Rural Lifestyle and Limited Walkability: Lifestyle amenities are centered on the quiet, rural environment with local pubs in Carrigkerry and access to extensive countryside for recreation; however, pedestrian infrastructure is limited, making the area largely car-dependent for daily errands and access to amenities beyond the immediate village centre.
- Hypothesis: The property's rural setting, while offering tranquility and space, significantly limits its buyer pool to those seeking a car-dependent lifestyle, potentially impacting its market velocity unless targeted towards niche buyers prioritizing a quiet, community-focused environment over urban conveniences and public transport.
