Price Distribution Analysis
4 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Size-adjusted for similar homes (type match, beds ±1, size ±20%). Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median of comparable sales. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed. Median anchored to size-similar transactions.
This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position — size-adjusted.
Financial Exposure · 11% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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 Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000.
Energy Costs: A D2 BER rating suggests annual energy costs are likely in the range of €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Space Configuration: This 133m² bungalow with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms offers a standard layout for its size, with no immediate indication of under or over-configuration relative to typical market offerings.
Hypothesis: Given the D2 BER rating, a significant portion of the €267,032 valuation is likely attributed to location and land rather than the building's energy efficiency; however, targeted upgrades could unlock substantial value appreciation and long-term cost savings.
Amenities
Rural Connectivity: Transport options are limited, with no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stops mentioned as serving Foghill, Carrowmore Lacken directly, indicating reliance on private transport.
Local Services: Information on specific schools, healthcare facilities, or shopping centres in immediate proximity is not provided, suggesting amenities may require travel to nearby towns.
Lifestyle Access: The lack of specific restaurant, cafe, park, or gym mentions implies a rural lifestyle with fewer on-demand leisure options within walking distance.
Hypothesis: The valuation of this property is likely driven primarily by its rural setting and plot size, as the lack of defined public transport and readily accessible amenities suggests that its appeal is to a niche market seeking seclusion, rather than convenience or connectivity to urban centres.
