Price Distribution Analysis
4 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Size-adjusted for similar homes (type match, beds ±1, size ±20%). 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. Median anchored to size-similar transactions.
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 — size-adjusted.
Financial Exposure · 87% Above Median

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 Upgrade Opportunity: Improving the G BER rating to a C1 could cost approximately €12,000-€18,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €20,000-€28,000, representing a sound investment.
Estimated Energy Costs: With a G BER rating, annual energy costs for this 60m² property are estimated to be €2,200-€2,800, significantly higher than the €900-€1,300 for C-rated properties.
Size Efficiency: At 60m² with 2 bedrooms, the property is compact, offering efficient living space that could appeal to individuals or couples seeking a low-maintenance home.
Hypothesis: The significant disparity between the property's G BER rating and the median sale price in the surrounding area suggests a substantial opportunity to enhance value by investing in energy efficiency upgrades, with the potential to recoup over 100% of the upgrade cost through increased market appeal and energy savings.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Access to public transport is limited, with no specific bus routes, train stations, Luas, or DART stations mentioned as directly serving this rural location, requiring private transport.
Healthcare Access: While specific facilities are not listed, rural Limerick generally relies on local GPs and regional hospitals such as University Hospital Limerick, located approximately 30km away.
Educational Facilities: Specific schools are not detailed, but the area would likely be served by local primary schools and secondary schools in nearby towns such as Rathkeale or Newcastle West.
Hypothesis: The limited public transport and reliance on private vehicles for access to amenities suggests that properties in this micro-location are primarily appealing to a niche market seeking rural seclusion, and their value will be more sensitive to local infrastructure improvements than to broader connectivity.
