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: With a B2 BER rating, this property offers excellent energy efficiency, leading to estimated annual energy costs of €800-€1,200, significantly lower than the €1,800-€2,200 typically associated with D-rated properties of similar size, resulting in annual savings of €600-€1,400.
Generous Layout: This 120m² detached home features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, providing ample space and a desirable 1:1 bed-to-bath ratio, which exceeds the typical 2-bathroom median found in sold properties within a 10km radius.
Optimal Configuration: The property's detached type, combined with its B2 BER and generous 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom configuration, presents a highly sought-after combination of privacy, modern efficiency, and convenience in the current market.
Hypothesis: The premium of having 3 bathrooms in a 3-bedroom detached home, especially with a strong B2 BER, positions this property to command a higher price per square meter than typical 3-bed, 2-bath alternatives, making it more resilient to market fluctuations and attractive to discerning buyers.
Amenities
Regional Connectivity: The property is well-positioned for regional travel, with access to Bus Éireann route 433 connecting Rhode to Portarlington (approx 20km for train services to Dublin and Galway) and direct access to the R400 and R402 for car commuting.
Essential Local Services: Rhode village offers essential local amenities including Rhode National School and a local Gala Express shop, providing convenience for daily needs within a short distance.
Extended Lifestyle Options: For more extensive shopping and leisure, residents can access supermarkets such as Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Lidl, and Aldi in Edenderry (approx 10km), along with local healthcare services including pharmacies and GP clinics.
Hypothesis: The rural charm and strategic road access to larger towns like Edenderry offer a compelling alternative to urban living, suggesting sustained demand from buyers seeking more space and a quieter lifestyle without being entirely isolated from essential services.
