Price Distribution Analysis
4 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Filters broadened to increase sample size.
Asking price is positioned above the median transaction level. 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 · 13% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.
If purchased at asking
€225,000
Above transaction median
Buying at asking would put you well above what similar homes sold for — that's elevated overpayment risk.

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
Below Standard BER: The BER Rating is PENDING, but the absence of a rating suggests potential for energy efficiency improvements that could significantly impact value and running costs.
Details
- Compact Footprint: With 78m² of living space, this 3-bedroom property offers a relatively small footprint, potentially below the average size for detached homes in areas with similar bedroom counts.
- Value Optimization Potential: Given the unknown BER, investing in energy efficiency upgrades (e.g., insulation, heating systems) could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's market value by €15,000-€20,000, alongside annual savings of €500-€1,000.
- Hypothesis: The current lack of a BER rating may be masking a lower-than-average energy performance, and proactively obtaining a rating and undertaking targeted upgrades could unlock significant value appreciation and buyer appeal in a market increasingly focused on sustainability.
Amenities
Remote Connectivity: Glencolmcille is not served by any train stations, Luas stops, or DART stations; the nearest significant transport links would require considerable travel, impacting commuter convenience.
Details
- Limited Local Services: Glencolmcille is a rural area with limited specific amenity data provided; however, general knowledge suggests essential services like primary schools and local shops would be present but not extensive.
- Rural Lifestyle Focus: The location offers a strong connection to nature and a quieter lifestyle, with potential for walking routes and local natural attractions, aligning with a rural living preference rather than urban convenience.
- Hypothesis: The remoteness of Glencolmcille suggests that future infrastructure development, such as improved broadband or localized community hubs, would have a disproportionately positive impact on property values by mitigating the inherent connectivity challenges.
