Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 2 comparable transactions within 3.0km over the past 24 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 3.0km · 24 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 · 61% 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 Rating Cost: Improving the D1 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, making it a viable investment.
Energy Cost Burden: With a D1 BER, annual energy costs for this 120m² townhouse are estimated to be €1,800-€2,200, compared to €800-€1,200 for a B-rated property, a difference of €1,000 per year.
Space Utilisation: At 120m² with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property's layout might feel less efficient than modern standards, with a potential opportunity to reconfigure the bathroom for improved functionality and value.
Hypothesis: The D1 BER rating significantly impacts the property's attractiveness and running costs; buyers will likely factor in the substantial cost of energy efficiency upgrades, making properties with better BER ratings more competitive in the local market.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Castlerea is served by Bus Éireann routes, providing regional connectivity, with the nearest train station being Castlerea Railway Station, offering national rail links.
Local Educational Facilities: The area is serviced by Scoil Mhuire National School and Castlerea Community School, offering accessible primary and secondary education options for families.
Healthcare Access: Residents have access to primary care services at Castlerea Primary Care Centre and pharmacy services at local pharmacies, ensuring essential healthcare is within reach.
Hypothesis: While Castlerea offers essential local amenities, its limited direct public transport links to major urban employment hubs could be a deterrent for commuters, potentially limiting the buyer pool to local residents or those seeking a quieter lifestyle.
