We found 2 comparable transactions within 5.0km over the past 36 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this property.
This can happen for properties in lower-turnover areas or very specific property types. Check back as new transactions register on the Property Price Register, or search for a nearby comparable property.
Price Distribution Analysis
2 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median transaction level. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed.
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.
Financial Exposure · 23% 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
Significant BER Upgrade Needed: With an E1 BER rating, upgrading to a C1 rating would likely cost between €10,000-€15,000, and could potentially increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Above-Average Size Offering: At 120.0m², this property is larger than the median 3-bedroom homes typically seen within a 100km radius (median 3 beds), offering greater space which is a key market differentiator.
- Potential Value Optimization: Addressing the E1 BER rating through energy efficiency upgrades, costing an estimated €10,000-€15,000, could unlock an additional €20,000-€25,000 in market value and reduce annual energy costs significantly compared to the current rating.
- Hypothesis: The significant disparity between the property's E1 BER rating and the market's preference for higher energy efficiency, evidenced by the increasing demand for better-rated properties, suggests that a strategic investment in insulation and heating upgrades could provide a substantial return on investment, potentially closing the gap with the €412,728 estimated value.
Amenities
Limited Direct Public Transport: Carrickmacross is not served by direct train lines, Luas, or DART; the nearest major train station is likely Dundalk (approx. 20km away), requiring bus or private transport for onward connections.
Details
- Local Service Availability: The area offers essential local amenities such as supermarkets (e.g., Tesco Carrickmacross), primary schools (e.g., St. Mary's National School), and healthcare facilities (e.g., Carrickmacross Health Centre), catering to daily needs.
- Commuter Potential Requires Planning: While not ideal for daily Dublin commuting without a car, the N2/M1 access allows for travel to Dublin, likely taking over an hour, making it more suitable for hybrid or remote workers.
- Hypothesis: The current amenity profile, while offering local conveniences, lacks direct public transport connectivity to major urban centers like Dublin, suggesting that any future infrastructure developments, such as improved bus services or enhanced road links, could significantly boost property values in Carrickmacross by improving its commuter appeal.
