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
C1 BER Impact: A C1 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000, potentially increasing the property's market value by €15,000-€20,000 and reducing annual energy costs by €1,000-€1,400 compared to current levels.
Details
- Standard Size: At 113m², this detached property is of a standard size for the market, aligning with the median 3-bedroom configuration seen across various radii.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the C1 BER, investing in energy efficiency upgrades could unlock significant value, as properties with better ratings tend to achieve higher sale prices and attract more buyers.
- Hypothesis: The C1 BER rating on this property, while not poor, represents a clear opportunity for value enhancement through targeted energy upgrades, suggesting that a buyer willing to invest could see a return on investment through increased resale value and lower running costs, especially if local market trends favour energy-efficient homes.
Amenities
Castlebar Connectivity: While specific route numbers are not provided for Castlebar, the town is served by Bus Éireann, connecting it regionally, and is located near major national roads like the N5.
Details
- Local Services: Castlebar town centre offers essential amenities including multiple supermarkets like Tesco and Dunnes Stores, as well as healthcare facilities such as Mayo University Hospital and local pharmacies.
- Educational Options: The area benefits from several educational institutions, including Gaelscoil na bhForbacha and St. Joseph's Secondary School, providing educational choices for families.
- Hypothesis: The established infrastructure and amenities within Castlebar town centre suggest a stable local market, but a lack of high-frequency public transport or direct commuter links to major employment hubs like Galway or Dublin might limit its appeal to a broader buyer pool, potentially contributing to the property's current pricing relative to its local value.
