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
Significant Energy Costs: With an E1 BER rating, this 120m² bungalow likely incurs high annual energy costs, estimated at €2,500-€3,000, substantially more than the €800-€1,200 for a more efficient B-rated property of comparable size.
Details
- Value-Add BER Upgrade: Investing an estimated €15,000-€25,000 to upgrade the BER from E1 to a B2 rating could enhance the property's market value by €25,000-€40,000, offering a strong return on investment for improved energy efficiency.
- Bathroom Configuration: The property's 1-bathroom configuration for three bedrooms is below the median of 2.0 bathrooms found in properties sold within the 20km and 50km radii, potentially impacting appeal to modern family buyers.
- Hypothesis: The property's current BER E1 rating represents not just a cost, but a substantial untapped value opportunity; a strategic energy retrofit could not only drastically reduce running costs but also significantly increase its market appeal and valuation, aligning it with evolving buyer preferences for sustainable homes.
Amenities
Regional Bus Connectivity: Abbeyfeale benefits from essential regional bus services, including Bus Éireann Route 13, providing vital links to larger urban centers like Limerick City and Tralee for commuting and access to wider facilities.
Details
- Comprehensive Local Services: The town of Abbeyfeale provides core amenities such as SuperValu and Garvey's SuperValu for grocery shopping, the Abbeyfeale Medical Centre and local pharmacies for healthcare, and Abbeyfeale Community College for secondary education.
- Community and Recreation: Residents can enjoy local green spaces like Abbeyfeale Town Park for recreation and access community-focused amenities such as The Glórach Centre, fostering a strong sense of local community and lifestyle.
- Hypothesis: Given its location outside major urban centres, the property's value is significantly driven by its access to comprehensive local amenities and a strong community atmosphere within Abbeyfeale, appealing to buyers prioritising self-sufficiency and quality of life over extensive public transport networks.
