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
Excellent Energy Efficiency: The A3 BER rating is superior, indicating significantly lower annual energy costs, estimated at €800-€1,200 compared to €1,800-€2,200 for comparable D-rated properties of similar size.
Details
- Generous Size: At 120m², the property offers ample living space, aligning well with the median 3-bedroom configuration but is larger than the 3-bedroom median size in the 10km radius.
- Value Optimization Potential: While the BER is excellent, strategic insulation upgrades from A3 to A1 could potentially reduce annual energy costs by a further €100-€200, enhancing long-term value.
- Hypothesis: Given the A3 BER rating, further investment in smart home technology and renewable energy integration, costing an estimated €5,000-€10,000, could elevate the property to a unique market position, potentially justifying a higher premium in future sales and saving an additional €200-€300 annually on energy.
Amenities
Limited Direct Transport: Being outside Dublin, the property lacks direct access to Luas or DART services, with the nearest train station likely requiring a significant journey.
Details
- Local Services Access: Castlebar town centre, approximately 5km away, would typically provide access to essential services including Mayo University Hospital, primary schools like Snugboro National School, and supermarkets such as Tesco and Dunnes Stores.
- Rural Connectivity: While specific bus routes are not provided, properties in this area generally rely on local bus services connecting to Castlebar, which then offers wider regional transport links.
- Hypothesis: The property's semi-rural location in Carrowbinogue Snugboro, Castlebar, suggests a need for a car for daily commuting and accessing a wider range of amenities, which may limit its appeal to buyers prioritizing public transport connectivity, despite its potential for a more tranquil lifestyle.
