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 Unknown Impact: With a BER rating of SI_666 (effectively unknown for practical comparison), it's impossible to quantify potential energy savings or upgrade costs against the 100km market where 100% of BERs are unknown.
Details
- Large Bungalow Size: At 120.0m², this bungalow offers a generous living space, aligning with the 'Large' size category and providing ample room for a 4-bedroom configuration.
- Configuration Mismatch: While having 4 bedrooms is positive, the single bathroom in a 120m² property is a significant functional limitation for a family home, potentially impacting its resale appeal and value.
- Hypothesis: The property's stated estimated value of €212,238, despite its low asking price and single bathroom, suggests that the underlying data used for valuation may not fully account for the practical limitations of a 4-bed bungalow with only one bathroom, or that the 'SI_666' BER rating, while appearing technical, signifies a very low energy performance requiring substantial investment.
Amenities
Limited Transport Connectivity: Falcarragh, Co. Donegal, is not served by train stations, Luas, or DART stops; Bus Éireann route 496 is the primary public transport link, requiring multiple changes for access to larger centres.
Details
- Basic Local Services: While Falcarragh offers some local shops and a primary school (Scoil Náisiúnta an Fhailcairigh), access to larger supermarkets, diverse retail, or specialized healthcare facilities like hospitals would require travel to Letterkenny (approx. 40km).
- Rural Lifestyle Amenities: The immediate area offers natural amenities like beaches and hills, appealing to outdoor enthusiasts, but lacks dedicated facilities such as gyms, cinemas, or a wide range of restaurants and cafes common in more urbanised settings.
- Hypothesis: The remoteness of Falcarragh, indicated by the lack of direct public transport links to major hubs and the distance to essential services, significantly dampens its appeal for commuters and families seeking urban conveniences, suggesting that the property's value is heavily influenced by its rural setting rather than accessibility to amenities.
