Asking price is positioned above the median of comparable sales. This places the property outside the core transaction band where most comparable homes closed. Median anchored to size-similar transactions.
This chart shows where the asking price sits versus recent verified closed sales. It does not show your bid strategy.Same baseline as Market Position — size-adjusted.
Financial Exposure · 33% Above Median

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 Rating Investment: Upgrading the C3 BER rating to a B2 would likely cost between €8,000-€12,000 and could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, representing a tangible return on investment.
Size Efficiency: At 51m², this is a compact 2-bedroom semi-detached property, which is smaller than the 3-bedroom median (100km radius), suggesting efficient use of space but potentially limiting appeal to larger families.
Value Optimization: The current asking price of €180,000 is significantly below the estimated value of €240,224, presenting an opportunity for a buyer to potentially negotiate further or invest in upgrades.
Hypothesis: The C3 BER rating indicates moderate energy efficiency; however, targeted insulation and heating upgrades, costing approximately €10,000, could significantly improve its EPC score, potentially unlocking an additional €18,000-€22,000 in market value and attracting a wider buyer pool.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Dunlavin is served by Bus Éireann routes 124 and 124A, providing connections to Naas and Dublin.
Local Services: The area offers essential amenities including Dunlavin National School, a local pharmacy, and Centra supermarket.
Green Space Access: Residents have access to local amenities such as the Dunlavin GAA Club and nearby walking routes along the River Liffey tributaries.
Hypothesis: While Dunlavin offers essential local services and a specific bus route (124) to larger hubs, the absence of direct Luas or DART access and the need for bus transfers to reach major employment centres suggest a commuter time premium when travelling to Dublin city.
