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 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 · 11% 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
BER Improvement Opportunity: Upgrading the F BER rating could cost an estimated €10,000-€15,000 but could increase the property's value by €20,000-€25,000, representing a solid investment.
Energy Cost Gap: An F BER rating will likely result in annual energy costs of approximately €2,000-€2,500, compared to €900-€1,300 for a B-rated property of similar size.
Size Efficiency: At 120m², the property offers a standard size for a 3-bedroom terrace, providing adequate living space without being excessively large.
Hypothesis: Given the F BER rating and the potential for significant value uplift through energy efficiency upgrades, properties in Ardara with this rating are likely to attract buyers looking for a renovation project with strong capital growth potential, especially if priced below comparable D or E rated properties.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Ardara is served by Bus Éireann routes, connecting it to larger towns like Letterkenny and Donegal Town, though no specific route numbers or station names were provided in the data.
Local Services: The property's Main Street address indicates proximity to local shops and services within Ardara, though specific names like supermarkets or pharmacies were not detailed.
Healthcare Access: While not specified, residents would typically have access to local health centres and pharmacies within Ardara, with larger hospitals likely located in Letterkenny or Donegal Town.
Hypothesis: The limited specific transport and amenity data for Ardara suggests a market where local, rural connectivity is key, meaning properties on main streets with good access to essential services are valued more highly than those reliant on extensive public transport networks.
