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
Generous Proportions: This 384m² bungalow offers substantial living space, significantly larger than the median 3-bedroom property typically seen in the market data, suggesting potential for comfortable living and entertaining.
Details
- High Bedroom and Bathroom Count: With 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, this property is configured for a large family or those requiring extensive accommodation, exceeding the median market offering of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
- BER B2 Energy Rating: The B2 BER rating is a strong positive, indicating good energy efficiency. While specific upgrade costs for lower ratings aren't applicable, maintaining and potentially improving this rating would be cost-effective, contrasting with the €8,000-€12,000 cost to upgrade a D-rated property to B2.
- Hypothesis: The significant size and high number of bedrooms/bathrooms in this B2-rated bungalow suggest it is well-suited for a specific niche market seeking extensive space. However, its value may be capped by the market's willingness to pay a premium for such features outside of more urban centers, compared to properties closer to Dublin which command higher prices for similar specifications.
Amenities
Rural Location Connectivity: Being 'Outside Dublin' and in Arklow, Co. Wicklow, implies limited direct access to immediate urban amenities. Transport connectivity would likely rely on local bus services and proximity to Arklow town.
Details
- Local Services Assessment: While specific services for Clonkeen, Shelton are not detailed, the general area around Arklow would offer essential amenities such as supermarkets (e.g., Tesco, Dunnes Stores) and local schools (e.g., Arklow CBS, St. Mary's College).
- Limited Public Transport Detail: The provided data does not specify exact bus routes (e.g., Bus Éireann routes serving Arklow) or train station proximity (Arklow Train Station is likely the closest), requiring potential reliance on private transport for wider connectivity.
- Hypothesis: The property's 'outside Dublin' location suggests a reliance on car-based transport for accessing key amenities in Arklow town and beyond. The lack of detailed public transport information (specific routes, distances to stations) may be a deterrent for potential buyers prioritizing commute convenience to urban employment hubs.
