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
Energy Efficiency Gap: With a C3 BER rating, this property likely incurs annual energy costs of approximately €1,400-€1,800, whereas comparable properties with an A3 rating could achieve savings of €500-€800 annually.
Details
- Generous Size: The property's 242m² size is considerably larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms typically seen in the 100km radius market, offering ample living space.
- Upgrade Opportunity: Improving the BER from C3 to B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but is projected to increase property value by €15,000-€20,000, presenting a sound investment for energy efficiency and market appeal.
- Hypothesis: The current C3 BER rating, while not poor, represents a missed opportunity for enhanced value and cost savings; proactively upgrading to a B-rated BER could position this property more competitively against newer constructions and attract a wider pool of buyers seeking lower running costs.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: Hodson Bay, Athlone is not directly served by Luas, DART, or specific Dublin Bus routes like the 25, 66, or 67; nearest viable options would require travel to Athlone town centre.
Details
- Local Services and Recreation: Amenities like the Hodson Bay Hotel's facilities, nearby golf courses, and Lough Ree offer significant lifestyle attractions, while Athlone town provides essential shopping and healthcare.
- Education Access: Proximity to Athlone town offers access to primary and secondary schools such as St. Paul's National School and Athlone Community College, and further education at the Technological University of the Shannon.
- Hypothesis: The desirability of Hodson Bay as a residential location is primarily driven by its scenic environment and leisure activities, rather than immediate urban convenience; this implies that buyers are likely prioritizing quality of life and a more tranquil setting over daily public transport access, valuing proximity to natural amenities over urban connectivity.
