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 Investment Opportunity: The C1 BER rating offers an opportunity for improvement; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Spacious Living: With 131.0m² of living space and 4 bedrooms, this detached property is well-sized, exceeding the median 3 bedrooms found within the 100km radius.
Configuration Value: The 2 bathrooms are standard for a 4-bedroom detached property, aligning with the median 2 bathrooms in the 100km market, offering good functionality for family living.
Hypothesis: Given the prevalence of properties with unknown BER ratings within the 100km radius (100%), properties that invest in documented energy efficiency upgrades, such as achieving a B2 or A3 rating, could command a significant premium and sell faster than comparable unrated homes.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport: The property's location in Carnakib, Ower, Headford, Co. Galway, is outside typical urban transport networks, with no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART lines directly serving the immediate vicinity referenced in the data.
Service Proximity: Access to essential services like primary schools (e.g., Glencorrib National School) and local shops would likely require travel by car, as specific amenities are not detailed within a walkable radius in the provided data.
Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location suggests a focus on a quieter, rural lifestyle, offering potential for larger plots and more open space, which appeals to a specific buyer demographic seeking an escape from urban density.
Hypothesis: The remoteness of this property, indicated by the lack of specific public transport and amenity data within the provided metrics, suggests that future development or infrastructure improvements in the wider Headford or Galway city area could significantly enhance its desirability and value, particularly if enhanced connectivity is introduced.
