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
Unrated Energy Efficiency: The BER rating is unknown (SI_666); upgrading from an estimated E/F rating to B2 could cost €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Details
- Compact Detached Living: At 53m², this 2-bedroom detached home is notably smaller than the median 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom properties sold within a 5km radius, offering a more compact living experience.
- Bathroom Deficiency: The property features only one bathroom, falling short of the regional median of two bathrooms found in sold properties across all surveyed radii (5km to 100km), which might be a consideration for some buyers.
- Hypothesis: The lack of a BER rating and the property's smaller footprint suggest that a strategic investment in energy efficiency upgrades and clever internal design could significantly boost its market appeal and valuation, capitalizing on the growing demand for sustainable homes in rural areas.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Located in rural Kerry, public transport is sparse; the nearest major train station is in Killarney (approximately 80km away), and local bus services like Local Link Kerry are infrequent.
Details
- Essential Local Facilities: Basic amenities include access to Scoil Náisiúnta Baile an tSagairt (Castlecove National School) and the Caherdaniel Medical Centre, both within approximately 10km, supporting fundamental community needs.
- Nature-Centric Lifestyle: Lifestyle amenities are defined by the natural landscape, with proximity to scenic spots like Derrynane Beach and Staigue Fort, alongside local dining at The Blind Piper in Castlecove, offering a tranquil, outdoor-focused living experience.
- Hypothesis: The property's value proposition is intrinsically linked to its remote, scenic charm and the availability of natural attractions rather than urban conveniences, suggesting its market appeal is primarily to buyers seeking seclusion and a connection to the Irish countryside.
