Price Distribution Analysis
3 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 · 25% 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
BER Upgrade Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost approximately €8,000-€12,000 but could potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a strong return on investment.
Space Efficiency: The property offers 120m² with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, providing substantial living space, which is generally attractive to larger families but may command a higher price point than smaller, more commonly sold properties in the immediate vicinity.
Value Optimization: The estimated value of €389,645.81, which is €39,645.81 higher than the asking price of €350,000, suggests potential equity growth, particularly if BER improvements are made.
Hypothesis: Given the D2 BER rating, the current estimated annual energy costs are likely between €1,800-€2,200, whereas achieving a B2 rating could reduce these costs to €800-€1,200 annually, representing savings of €1,000-€1,400 per year and making the property more appealing to energy-conscious buyers.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Tallow is served by Bus Éireann route 261, connecting it to Dungarvan and Cork, with no direct Luas, DART, or train stations in the immediate vicinity.
Local Facilities: The area offers basic amenities including Tallow National School, St. Mary's Church, a local post office, and small retail outlets, with larger shopping and healthcare facilities found in nearby towns like Fermoy or Dungarvan.
Walkability: Convent Street offers pedestrian access to the local shops and schools within Tallow itself, but residents would likely need a car for access to a wider range of services and employment centres.
Hypothesis: The limited direct public transport links and relative remoteness of Tallow from major urban centres suggests that properties here may appeal to a niche market seeking a more rural lifestyle, and that the value proposition for commuters would be significantly lower than for properties with direct access to national transport hubs.
