Price Distribution Analysis
3 verified closed sales within 5.0km · 36 months. Size-adjusted for similar homes (type match, beds ±1, size ±20%). Filters broadened to increase sample size.
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 · 16% 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
Energy Efficiency Advantage: A B3 BER rating suggests an annual energy cost of approximately €1,300-€1,700, compared to €2,000-€2,500 for a D-rated property of similar size.
Spacious Configuration: With 263m² and 7 bedrooms, this property offers significant space, aligning well with the generally larger detached properties that command higher prices in the Limerick region.
Value Optimization Potential: Minor upgrades to improve the BER rating from B3 to B1 could cost an estimated €3,000-€5,000 and potentially increase the property's market value by €6,000-€10,000, representing a good return on investment.
Hypothesis: The property's B3 BER rating, while good, is not top-tier for new builds; focusing on improving insulation and heating systems could yield an additional 5-7% increase in value and a further €500-€700 annual saving on energy bills, making it more competitive with A-rated properties.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: While specific bus routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops are not detailed in the provided data for Ballycarney, Clarina, its location outside Dublin implies reliance on local bus services and private transport for connectivity to Limerick City.
Local Services Assessment: The area's amenities are not detailed, but proximity to Limerick City suggests access to educational facilities like the University of Limerick, healthcare at University Hospital Limerick, and shopping centers such as the Crescent Shopping Centre.
Lifestyle Options: Specific lifestyle amenities like restaurants, parks, or gyms in Ballycarney, Clarina are not provided, but Limerick City offers a range of dining, recreational, and cultural activities.
Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport mentions for V94YP8K suggests that the €3,798 median price per sqm within a 3km radius is driven by desirability of space and larger homes rather than strong public transport links, indicating that private vehicle ownership is essential for residents and impacting commuter appeal.
