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
Strong Energy Efficiency: With a B BER rating, this property offers excellent energy efficiency, translating to estimated annual energy costs of €800-€1,200, which is a saving of €1,000-€1,400 compared to D-rated properties of similar size that typically incur €1,800-€2,200 annually.
Details
- Compact Detached Home: At 51m², this 2-bedroom detached property is notably compact, especially when compared to the median 3-bedroom properties in the 5km radius, which might limit its appeal to families seeking more expansive living spaces in a rural setting.
- Modern Bathroom Configuration: The property's two bathrooms align well with the local median for properties sold in both the 5km and 10km radii, offering a modern and functional amenity that meets current buyer expectations.
- Hypothesis: While the property's modern BER rating is a significant advantage in an area where 100% of local BERs are often 'unknown' (suggesting older housing stock), its small footprint might dictate a specific buyer profile, potentially appealing more to individuals or couples seeking a low-maintenance home rather than a traditional family residence.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport Access: Situated in Dowra, Co. Leitrim, public transport is primarily reliant on Local Link bus services connecting to regional towns; there are no train, Luas, or DART stations nearby, necessitating private vehicle ownership for convenient travel.
Details
- Essential Local Facilities: The property benefits from immediate access to Dowra National School for primary education and a local shop/post office in Dowra village, while comprehensive amenities like major supermarkets and a wider range of healthcare facilities are located in larger towns such as Manorhamilton (approx. 20km) or Carrick-on-Shannon (approx. 30km).
- Abundant Natural Attractions: The location offers significant lifestyle benefits for nature enthusiasts, being close to the Cuilcagh Lakelands Global Geopark and the Shannon-Erne Waterway, providing extensive opportunities for outdoor activities and scenic walking routes.
- Hypothesis: The property's value proposition is heavily weighted towards its rural tranquility and access to natural amenities, implying that buyers are likely to prioritize a secluded lifestyle and outdoor pursuits over immediate access to extensive urban conveniences or robust public transport networks.
