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
BER Investment Opportunity: Upgrading this G-rated, 55m² bungalow to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €15,000-€25,000, but is projected to increase its market value by €25,000-€45,000 while reducing annual energy costs from an estimated €3,000-€4,000 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Compact Living: At 55m², this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom bungalow is significantly smaller than the median properties sold in the surrounding 10km radius, which typically feature 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, potentially limiting its appeal to buyers seeking more space.
- Renovation Potential: The G-BER rating indicates the property likely requires substantial upgrades to its insulation, heating system, and windows, presenting a significant renovation project but also an opportunity to tailor the home to modern standards.
- Hypothesis: Given its G-BER and compact 55m² size, this property is poised to attract a niche market of cash buyers or investors looking for a deep renovation project, or those seeking a small, low-cost holiday retreat rather than a primary family residence, willing to undertake significant capital expenditure.
Amenities
Regional Connectivity: While not served by urban rail, Kenmare benefits from Bus Éireann services, specifically the 279 route connecting Kenmare directly to Killarney, approximately 45km away, offering inter-town transport options.
Details
- Community Hub: The property offers access to essential lifestyle and healthcare amenities in Kenmare town, including SuperValu and Centra supermarkets, Kenmare Community Hospital, and local GP clinics such as Kenmare Medical Centre, all within a reasonable driving distance.
- Education and Leisure: Families will benefit from nearby educational facilities like Holy Cross National School and Pobalscoil Inbhear Scéine, while leisure options include the Kenmare Golf Club and various restaurants such as Lime Tree Restaurant, all located in Kenmare town.
- Hypothesis: The rural setting of Dirreenacallaugh, while offering scenic beauty and tranquility, necessitates reliance on private transport for daily amenities; however, its proximity to the vibrant Kenmare town center positions it as an appealing choice for those seeking a balance of serene living and access to a lively community hub.
