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
Significant BER Upgrade Opportunity: With a G BER rating, upgrading to a B2 standard could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 and potentially increase property value by €20,000-€25,000.
Spacious Rural Plot: The 100m² bungalow sits on a substantial 18-acre plot, offering considerable space and potential for development or agricultural use, which is a key asset.
Below-Average Bathrooms: The single bathroom is below the median of 2 bathrooms observed in the 100km radius market over the past 180 days, potentially limiting appeal for larger households.
Hypothesis: The large landholding coupled with a low BER rating suggests a market segment that prioritizes land over immediate property condition, hinting that a strategic investment in energy efficiency could unlock significant capital appreciation and appeal.
Amenities
Limited Local Services: Kilfenora offers basic amenities, but access to larger towns like Ennis (approx. 20km) or the coast for more extensive shopping and dining requires significant travel.
Rural Connectivity: The property is located outside of major urban centres, with no specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas stops mentioned in the immediate vicinity, suggesting reliance on private transport.
Natural Landscape Appeal: The property is situated in a scenic rural area, offering access to the Burren National Park and coastal areas, appealing to those seeking a quieter lifestyle.
Hypothesis: The property's value proposition will heavily depend on buyers prioritizing land and rural tranquility over immediate access to urban amenities and public transport, with its appeal being niche and focused on a self-sufficient or lifestyle-driven buyer.
