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.
Financial Exposure · 104% Above Median
If purchased at asking, you are paying above where most similar homes sold. A defined ceiling is designed to close this gap.

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
Large Footprint Value: The property's 335m² size is significantly larger than the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms commonly seen in the 100km radius market.
Details
- BER Rating Concern: The BER rating of SI_666 (Unknown) provides no quantifiable energy efficiency information, which is a significant drawback given the property's size and potential running costs.
- Upgrade Opportunity: With an 'Unknown' BER rating, upgrading to a B2 rating could involve costs of €10,000-€15,000, potentially increasing the property's value by €18,000-€25,000 and reducing annual energy costs by an estimated €1,000-€1,500 compared to a typical E-rated property of similar size.
- Hypothesis: The current 'Unknown' BER rating represents a substantial opportunity for value enhancement. Investing in a professional BER assessment and subsequent targeted energy efficiency upgrades, particularly focusing on insulation and heating systems, could unlock significant capital appreciation and make the property more attractive to a broader range of buyers seeking lower running costs, especially given the property's large size.
Amenities
Limited Local Data: Specific details on transport connectivity (bus routes, train stations), educational facilities, healthcare access, shopping centres, and lifestyle amenities for F94N7Y3 (Killybegs, Co. Donegal) are not provided in the raw data.
Details
- Rural Connectivity Assumption: The 'Outside Dublin' classification implies a reliance on local road networks and potentially limited public transport, with Killybegs being a coastal town known more for its fishing industry than extensive urban amenities.
- Potential for Scenic Lifestyle: As a rural property, it likely offers access to natural amenities like coastal walks or nearby countryside, which can be a strong draw for specific buyer demographics.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific amenity data for the Killybegs area suggests that potential buyers will need to conduct thorough independent research into local services, transport links (likely limited direct routes to major centres), and community facilities to fully assess the lifestyle and convenience factors impacting long-term value and desirability.
