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
Efficient Energy Rating: With a C3 BER rating, this property offers better energy efficiency than older D-rated homes, potentially saving owners €600-€1,000 annually on energy costs compared to D-rated properties of similar size.
Spacious Family Home: At 145 square meters with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this bungalow offers generous living space, significantly exceeding the median 3-bedroom configuration observed in the 5km radius, making it ideal for larger families.
Desirable Property Type: The bungalow style of this property, combined with its C3 BER and ample size, aligns well with market demand for spacious and relatively energy-efficient detached homes in the Ardee area, enhancing its long-term appeal.
Hypothesis: Despite its already solid C3 BER, a targeted investment of €3,000-€5,000 in further insulation or renewable energy upgrades could elevate the BER to a B-rating, potentially adding €8,000-€12,000 to the property's market value, appealing to eco-conscious buyers.
Amenities
Commuter Access Points: While located in Lambtown, the property benefits from proximity to Ardee town centre, offering access to Bus Éireann routes such as the 167 for connections to Dundalk, Drogheda, and Dublin, with major train stations in Drogheda and Dundalk providing wider rail links.
Comprehensive Local Services: Ardee town provides a range of essential amenities, including Scoil Phádraig Naofa and Ardee Community School, SuperValu and Lidl for shopping, and local medical centres like Ardee Medical Centre, all within a short drive.
Established Community Living: Families will appreciate the array of educational options within easy reach in Ardee, from primary schools to Ardee Community School, alongside local childcare facilities and community sports clubs offering recreational opportunities.
Hypothesis: The property's location in Lambtown suggests a primarily car-dependent lifestyle for accessing most Ardee town amenities, yet this offers the benefit of a quieter, more spacious setting compared to urban core properties, attracting buyers prioritizing privacy and larger plots.
