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 B Efficiency: The property boasts a BER rating of B, indicating good energy efficiency that would typically result in annual energy costs of €800-€1,200, significantly lower than D-rated properties in the area.
Details
- Generous Size: With a size of 120.0m², this detached property offers ample living space, aligning with the 'Large' size category and providing more room than the 2-bed, 1-bath configuration might suggest.
- Value Optimization: Upgrading the 1-bathroom configuration to two could potentially increase the property's marketability and value, especially considering the median of 2 bathrooms in the broader market data (100km_180d_median_baths: 2.0).
- Hypothesis: Given the property's B BER rating and substantial size, a targeted renovation to add a second bathroom could significantly enhance its appeal and command a premium, potentially bridging the gap between its current asking price and the median sale prices seen in wider markets.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: The property's rural location in Rathgeran, Ballymurphy, Borris, Co. Carlow means it is unlikely to be directly served by specific bus routes or train stations, necessitating car travel for most journeys.
Details
- Local Services: While specific details for Rathgeran are not provided, the nearest town of Borris typically offers essential services including local shops and primary schools such as Borris National School.
- Healthcare Access: Access to healthcare facilities would likely require travel to larger centres such as Carlow Town, which hosts Carlow District Hospital, approximately 20km away.
- Hypothesis: The property's location, while offering rural tranquility, presents a significant challenge for connectivity and access to amenities, suggesting that its value proposition is primarily driven by lifestyle preferences for privacy rather than convenience, and that any future development in the immediate vicinity to improve transport or services could substantially boost its appeal.
