Price Distribution Analysis
4 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Size-adjusted for similar homes (type match, beds ±1, size ±20%). 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. Median anchored to size-similar transactions.
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 — size-adjusted.
Financial Exposure · 65% Above Median

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
High upgrade cost for BER G: Upgrading this property's G BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €15,000-€20,000 but could increase its value by €20,000-€25,000, representing a significant investment opportunity.
Large size for 1 bathroom: With 101.0m² of space and only one bathroom, this configuration could be a limitation for families, suggesting potential value enhancement by adding a second bathroom.
Potential value optimization: Enhancing the property's G BER rating to C could reduce annual energy costs by approximately €800-€1,200 compared to its current state, improving its market appeal and long-term value.
Hypothesis: The presence of a G BER rating, common in rural Irish properties, combined with a single bathroom in a 3-bedroom house, indicates a market opportunity for investors who can undertake energy upgrades and bathroom renovations, potentially unlocking significant value uplift in line with the 20km radius market where median sales prices are €320,000.
Amenities
Limited local transport: This property is located in Lisdoonvarna, Co. Clare, which is outside of major transport hubs; Bus Eireann routes are the primary public transport, with no direct links to train stations, Luas, or DART lines from this immediate area.
Rural amenities: While Lisdoonvarna is known for its music festival and offers local shops and a health centre, it lacks immediate access to larger retail centres or major healthcare facilities, requiring travel to Ennis or Galway.
Low walkability score: The property's rural location means walkability is limited to local roads and natural surroundings, with no formal pedestrian infrastructure or nearby parks explicitly mentioned in the data for easy access.
Hypothesis: The property's location in a rural area like Lisdoonvarna, while offering a quieter lifestyle, suggests that its future value appreciation will be heavily dependent on any future investment in public transport connectivity or significant local development rather than broader regional infrastructure projects.
