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 C1 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but is projected to increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a sound investment.
Details
- Spacious Living: With a size of 153.0m², this 5-bedroom detached house is significantly larger than the median 3-bedroom property in the 100km radius, offering ample living space.
- Value Optimization Potential: The property's C1 BER rating suggests potential for annual energy cost savings of approximately €1,000-€1,400 if upgraded to a B2, compared to D-rated properties of similar size.
- Hypothesis: The significant disparity between the property's 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and the market median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within 100km indicates a potential oversupply of bedrooms and bathrooms relative to the broader market, which may temper its value increase potential compared to properties with more typical configurations.
Amenities
Limited Direct Connectivity: While located outside Dublin, there are no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas or DART stops mentioned as directly serving Minna, Inverin, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Regional School Access: Families in this area would likely access educational facilities such as Scoil Naomh Bríd, a primary school, and Coláiste Ghuraim, a secondary school, in nearby villages.
- Local Services and Recreation: The property's location offers access to local amenities such as small shops, cafes in the Inverin area, and natural attractions like the coastline and Connemara National Park for outdoor recreation.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport links within Minna, Inverin, H91V8CV, combined with its designation as 'outside Dublin', implies a strong reliance on car ownership. This could limit appeal to a segment of the market focused on public transport accessibility, potentially impacting resale value compared to properties with direct access to major transit networks.
