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
Excellent Energy Efficiency: With a B1 BER rating, this property is likely to have significantly lower annual energy costs, potentially saving €1,000-€1,400 compared to D-rated properties of a similar size.
Spacious Configuration: The 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms offer ample accommodation, ideal for large families or those seeking extensive living space, a key value driver for detached properties.
Value Optimization Potential: While the property has a good BER, upgrades to an A-rating could further enhance its long-term value and reduce running costs by an additional estimated €400-€600 annually.
Hypothesis: The B1 BER rating combined with the substantial 24,281m² plot size suggests this property represents a premium offering for those valuing both substantial living space and reasonable energy efficiency, a combination that will likely see its value appreciate faster than smaller, less energy-efficient homes in the area.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: Specific public transport routes serving Doonane, Crettyard are not detailed in the provided data, suggesting reliance on private transport for connectivity.
Local Services Access: While specific amenities are not detailed for Doonane, Crettyard, its location outside Dublin implies access to essential services like primary schools and local shops would be typical of rural Irish towns.
Rural Lifestyle Focus: The property's substantial land size indicates a focus on rural living, with potential for gardening, outdoor activities, and privacy, appealing to a specific buyer demographic.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport mentions in the data suggests that properties in this semi-rural location are primarily valued for their land and privacy, leading to a buyer pool less concerned with commuting via public transport and more focused on car dependency and local community amenities.
