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
BER Rating Advantage: A B2 BER rating offers significant energy efficiency, with estimated annual energy costs likely €800-€1,200 lower than comparable D-rated properties of similar size.
Generous Proportions: At 390m², this is a substantial property, offering 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, providing ample space that is likely above the average for the local detached property market.
Value Optimization Potential: Investing in upgrades to achieve an A-rated BER from the current B2 could cost approximately €4,000-€6,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €7,000-€10,000, representing a sound investment for enhanced market appeal and running costs.
Hypothesis: While the B2 BER is good, a strategic investment to achieve an A-rating could command a premium of over 10% more than similar B2 properties locally, especially as energy efficiency becomes a more significant factor in buyer decision-making for high-value coastal homes.
Amenities
Coastal Connectivity: Situated in Fountainstown, access to Cork city and surrounding areas would likely rely on local bus services such as Bus Éireann routes serving the coastal road, rather than direct Luas or DART links.
Local Lifestyle Access: The area provides access to local amenities such as restaurants and cafes in nearby coastal villages, while educational facilities and major healthcare providers like Cork University Hospital would require travel towards Cork City.
Walkability and Green Spaces: Fountainstown offers a desirable coastal environment with walking routes along the coastline and local parks, promoting a high quality of life and outdoor activities.
Hypothesis: The appeal of this property is heavily weighted towards its scenic coastal location and associated lifestyle, with its value underpinned by desirable amenities like coastal walks rather than proximity to urban transport hubs; therefore, demand will likely remain strong among buyers prioritizing a tranquil, high-amenity coastal setting over daily urban commuting convenience.
