Financial Exposure · 60% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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 C1 Rating: The C1 BER rating suggests a moderate energy efficiency; significant upgrades to achieve a B2 rating, costing an estimated €10,000-€15,000, could potentially increase property value by €18,000-€25,000 and offer annual energy savings of €800-€1,200 compared to current levels.
Details
- Generous Size: With 292.0m² of living space, this detached house is considerably larger than the 3-bedroom median in the 100km radius, offering ample room but potentially impacting saleability if the local market favors smaller, more modern homes.
- Value Optimization: The disparity between the estimated value (€234,067.89) and the asking price (€450,000) suggests a significant overvaluation, indicating that the current asking price does not reflect the property's intrinsic value or comparable market data.
- Hypothesis: Given the property's substantial size and C1 BER rating, there is a strong opportunity to enhance its market appeal and value by implementing targeted energy efficiency upgrades. Focusing on insulation, heating system modernization, and window replacements could transform its BER rating and appeal to a more discerning buyer, potentially bridging the gap between its estimated value and current asking price.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Without specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART lines mentioned for St. Johnston, connectivity appears limited, suggesting a reliance on private vehicles for access to wider amenities.
Details
- Local Services Availability: While specific names are absent, the 'Outside Dublin' context implies St. Johnston likely has essential local services such as primary schools, local shops, and basic healthcare access, typical for a rural town.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The property's location suggests a focus on a quieter, rural lifestyle, with potential access to local parks or natural amenities, appealing to buyers prioritizing space and tranquility over urban convenience.
- Hypothesis: The absence of specific public transport data for St. Johnston suggests a strong dependence on private transport, which could hinder long-term value appreciation if regional infrastructure development focuses on public transport expansion elsewhere; however, this may also preserve its appeal for those seeking a car-dependent, tranquil lifestyle.
