Limited recent transaction volume reduces trend precision. Strategy remains anchored to closed-sale distribution.
PPR closed sales · size & time adjusted · no asking prices used
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 Advantage: The B BER rating offers an immediate advantage, with estimated annual energy costs of €1,200-€1,600 compared to €2,200-€3,000 for D-rated properties of similar size in the region.
Details
- Site Value Proposition: As a 'Site' with 0m² listed size and 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, the property is fundamentally unlivable and requires full development, with its value resting entirely on planning and development potential rather than existing structure.
- Limited Local Context: Within a 10km radius, the median sale price for properties with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms over 180 days is €360,000, and the BER rating is unknown for 100% of these sales, making direct quality comparisons difficult.
- Hypothesis: The unsuitability of the current 'Site' listing as a dwelling and its high asking price relative to typical land sales suggest a premium is being placed on its development potential, likely linked to favourable zoning or strategic location for specific housing types, which could see its value increase significantly post-planning approval.
Amenities
Rural Connectivity: Fountainstown is outside Dublin and while specific bus routes are not provided, its coastal location suggests reliance on local routes and potentially longer commutes to major transport hubs like Cork City, which is approximately 30km away.
Details
- Local Services: While specific amenities are not listed for Fountainstown, its location within County Cork would typically offer access to regional facilities, with the nearest significant town likely being Carrigaline (approx. 10km), offering schools and shopping.
- Potential for Growth: The property's location outside major urban centres suggests that future infrastructure development or planning for new local amenities could significantly enhance its value and appeal.
- Hypothesis: The relatively isolated location of Fountainstown, indicated by the absence of specific local transport and amenity data in the provided metrics, suggests that the primary driver for this site's value will be its potential for development and the buyer's ability to leverage planned or existing infrastructure improvements in the wider County Cork region, rather than immediate access to established urban amenities.
