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 3.0km · 18 months. 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.
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 · 35% 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
Size Impact
Significant Size: At 279m², this semi-detached property is substantially larger than the average property.
Price per Square Meter: The estimated price per square meter (€1729.4) indicates a strong value proposition compared to potential comparables.
Hypothesis: The large size of the property may attract families or those seeking space, potentially making it more desirable than smaller properties in the area, further justifying its valuation.
Property Quality
BER Rating: The E1 BER rating suggests opportunities for improvement.
Layout Assessment: Semi-detached properties often benefit from larger gardens and good privacy, if well-designed.
Hypothesis: Upgrading the BER rating to improve energy efficiency could significantly increase the property's appeal and market value, especially with rising energy costs. The lack of data on the layout prevents a useful insight. However, a good garden would be a premium.

Floor area data comes from the SEAI BER register. Flood exposure is cross-referenced against OPW flood extent mapping (CFRAM fluvial + NCFHM coastal) and historical flood events. Planning activity is sourced from the National Planning Application Database via MyPlan.ie — merged Local Authority planning registers from the Department of Housing.
