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 Uncertainty: The BER rating is pending, meaning potential buyers cannot assess the property's energy efficiency, which is a critical factor in running costs and market appeal, unlike the 100% of properties with unknown BERs in the 1km radius over 180 days.
Details
- Size Advantage: At 135m², this bungalow is larger than the average property size of 110m² sold within a 1km radius over the past 180 days, offering more living space than typical local offerings.
- Configuration Mismatch: With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this property aligns with a higher-tier segment of the market, as indicated by the 1km median of 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom over 180 days, suggesting it caters to a specific, potentially smaller, buyer pool.
- Hypothesis: The lack of a defined BER rating for this property, while the broader 1km market also shows 100% unknown ratings, suggests a potential market-wide challenge in obtaining or disclosing BERs. If this property achieves a D or lower rating, an investment of €8,000-€12,000 in upgrades to a B2 rating could yield a €15,000-€20,000 increase in value, making it a viable strategy if the asking price were more aligned with its current market position.
Amenities
Connectivity Hub: The area is well-served by Dublin Bus routes 42 and 142, providing direct access to Dublin City Centre, with further links available via the DART at nearby Howth Junction station (approx. 2km).
Details
- Educational Proximity: Residents have access to a range of educational institutions including St. Fintan's High School (approx. 1.2km) and Malahide Community School (approx. 1.5km), along with numerous primary schools and creches.
- Retail and Leisure: A wide array of amenities are within easy reach, including the shops and restaurants of Malahide village (approx. 1km) and the Pavilions Shopping Centre in Swords (approx. 3km), complemented by the coastal walks and green spaces of Malahide Castle and Demesne.
- Hypothesis: The strong appeal of Malahide as a desirable residential location, characterized by its coastal setting, excellent schools, and established village centre, combined with the upcoming infrastructure improvements on the N1/M1 corridor and potential for enhanced public transport links, suggests that properties offering larger footprints like this bungalow, despite the current premium, will continue to command significant interest and potential for capital appreciation.
