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.

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 Uncertainty: The BER rating is 'PENDING', making it impossible to assess current energy efficiency or potential savings compared to local properties with known ratings.
Generous Size: At 315.0m², the property offers substantial living space, significantly exceeding the typical size of properties sold in the immediate 3km radius, where the median sale price is €353,750.
Potential Upgrade Costs: If the pending BER rating is found to be D, E, F, or G, upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property value by €15,000-€20,000, while an A2 rating could offer annual energy cost savings of €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated property of this size.
Hypothesis: Given the property's large size of 315.0m², a pending BER rating could conceal significant potential for energy efficiency improvements; if the rating is poor, an investment of €8,000-€12,000 in upgrades could unlock €15,000-€20,000 in value appreciation and reduce annual running costs by €1,000-€1,400, making it a strategic purchase for value enhancement.
Amenities
Limited Connectivity: Specific transport details like bus routes, train stations, or Luas stops serving Masonbrook, Loughrea, Co. Galway are not provided in the raw data, hindering an assessment of connectivity beyond the broad 'Outside Dublin' classification.
Local Services Unknown: The analysis lacks specific information on schools, hospitals, pharmacies, shops, restaurants, or childcare facilities within proximity to H62DP28, making it difficult to evaluate lifestyle and family-friendly amenities.
Walkability Unclear: Without details on local parks, pedestrian routes, or designated walking infrastructure, the walkability of the Masonbrook area cannot be determined from the provided data.
Hypothesis: The absence of specific local amenity data for Loughrea suggests that properties in this location may rely on the town centre for essential services, potentially positioning this detached property as a rural retreat with a need for private transport, which could appeal to a specific buyer profile seeking tranquility over urban convenience.
