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 Improvement Opportunity: With an unknown BER rating (SI_666), upgrading this 57m² property from a typical D-rated equivalent to a B2 could cost €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase its market value by €15,000-€20,000, simultaneously reducing estimated annual energy costs from €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Compact Living: At 57m², this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom detached property is notably more compact than the local market median of 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom homes within a 5km radius, catering to a niche segment of buyers seeking efficient smaller footprints.
- Strategic Value Proposition: The estimated value of €474,677 significantly exceeds the asking price of €360,000 for this detached property, highlighting a potential opportunity for buyers to acquire a rare detached home at a substantial discount to its assessed worth, particularly given its smaller size and configuration compared to the area's larger typical homes.
- Hypothesis: The considerable gap between the estimated value of €474,677 and the asking price of €360,000 for this compact detached home with an unknown BER suggests either a strategic undervaluation by the seller for a swift transaction or a nascent market for smaller detached properties that is yet to fully recognize their intrinsic value.
Amenities
Commuter Convenience: While direct train/Luas/DART access is not available, the property benefits from proximity to Newbridge Train Station (approx. 9km) and Sallins & Naas Train Station (approx. 11km), providing commuter rail services to Dublin Heuston, complemented by local bus services connecting to nearby towns.
Details
- Family & Lifestyle Hub: This location offers access to Caragh National School (approx. 1km), with secondary education options available in nearby Naas (approx. 8km) and Newbridge (approx. 10km), such as Naas Community College and Newbridge College; local amenities include Caragh village shop and the Caragh Restaurant & Bar.
- Essential Services & Recreation: Healthcare access is supported by local GP clinics and pharmacies in Caragh village and nearby Prosperous, with Naas General Hospital located approximately 10km away; the property is also near popular recreational sites like Punchestown Racecourse and Goffs.
- Hypothesis: The property's appeal is significantly bolstered by its strategic road access to key towns like Newbridge and Naas rather than direct rail links, suggesting that buyer preference in this rural Kildare location prioritizes driving convenience to comprehensive amenities over immediate public transport infrastructure.
