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
BER C1 Advantage: The C1 BER rating offers a moderate energy efficiency, potentially incurring annual energy costs of €1,500-€1,900, compared to €2,000-€2,500 for a typical D-rated property of similar size within the 100km market.
Details
- Size and Configuration: At 211m² with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this property is significantly larger than the median 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom properties sold within 100km (median 3 beds, 2 baths), offering substantial space.
- Value Optimization Opportunity: Given the BER C1 rating, a strategic upgrade to a B2 rating could cost approximately €9,000-€13,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €18,000-€25,000, representing a solid return on investment.
- Hypothesis: While the property's size and bedroom count are above the typical market median within 100km, the C1 BER rating suggests a missed opportunity for enhanced value. Investing in insulation and heating upgrades to reach a B2 rating could not only reduce annual energy bills by €500-€1,000 but also significantly boost market appeal and command a higher sale price, potentially a 7-10% premium over its current estimated value.
Amenities
Limited Local Connectivity: The Crettyard area is not directly served by any specific Dublin Bus routes, Luas stops, or DART stations, meaning travel to urban centers would likely require significant driving or multiple bus transfers, impacting commuter convenience.
Details
- Local Services Sparsity: Specific details on nearby schools, hospitals, or major shopping centers like the Dunnes Stores in Portlaoise (approx. 30km away) or the Fairgreen Shopping Centre in Carlow (approx. 20km away) are not directly accessible from this specific location, suggesting a reliance on private transport for essential services.
- Rural Lifestyle Focus: The property's location suggests a lifestyle focused on rural amenities, with no specific local parks, restaurants, or cafes mentioned within immediate walking distance, indicating a need for travel for social and recreational activities.
- Hypothesis: The absence of direct public transport links and a concentration of amenities within a 5km radius for Crettyard implies a strong reliance on private vehicles. This could negatively impact property valuation for non-local buyers seeking easy commutes, with properties in this area likely to be valued primarily on their size, land, and rural appeal rather than connectivity, potentially placing them at a 15-25% discount compared to similar-sized properties in well-connected towns.
