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 C3 Efficiency: The C3 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, with potential annual savings of €800-€1,200 compared to D-rated properties of similar size.
Size Optimization: At 89m², this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom terrace offers a practical layout, but the single bathroom may represent a point for potential upgrade consideration in a competitive market.
Value Upgrade Potential: While having a C3 BER, strategic upgrades to achieve a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Hypothesis: Given the C3 BER rating, investing in targeted insulation and heating system upgrades could significantly enhance the property's appeal and long-term value, potentially closing the gap between its current asking price and higher-performing comparable properties.
Amenities
Transport Network: The area is served by multiple Dublin Bus routes including the 206 and 207, providing strong connectivity to Cork City Centre and surrounding suburbs.
Local Convenience: Residents have easy access to shopping amenities such as SuperValu Ballinlough and The Elysium Spa & Shopping Centre, as well as a variety of cafes and restaurants.
Family Focus: Proximity to esteemed educational institutions like St. Columba's National School (400m) and Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh (1.2km) makes this a desirable location for families.
Hypothesis: The strong presence of essential amenities and family-oriented services within close proximity, coupled with the 206/207 bus routes, positions Ballinlough as a highly desirable residential area, likely to sustain or increase property values due to consistent local demand.
