Is Seaglass worth the asking price?
Asking above our estimated range. The asking price is 155% above our €766,000 midpoint.
If you bid, think in €689,000 to €843,000. Opening near €668,000 would be aggressive in this market. Priced above the range, so it may need negotiation and close below the asking.
Asking price divided by the 200 m² floor area. Too few comparable homes for sale nearby to rank it.
5 comparable homes in the area, 2 with the same bedrooms. Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 45% of the time.
The house is in good order. We never lift an estimate for a finish, only trim the low end of the range.

What it costs a month
About €8,560 a month on a 90% mortgage over 30 years at a typical current rate, plus property tax. Work it out for your own deposit.
How we estimate
We take recent sold prices from the Property Price Register, adjust each to today's money with the CSO price index, and weight them by how close and how recent they are. We blend that with a model trained on 5,000 matched sales that knows how price moves with floor area, bedrooms, BER, type and area, and we correct for condition read. Our estimate is the blend; the range is where 80% of homes like this actually sold.
Tested on sales the model had never seen: half land within 8% of the sale price, four in five within 20%. It never sees the survey. An estimate, not a valuation.

What should I check before I sign?
Inside a mapped flood zone. In Ireland this shows up as loaded premiums (roughly €400–1,500 a year), a flood excess of €5,000–25,000, or cover declined outright. No cover can mean no mortgage, and it follows you to resale. Get a written home insurance quote BEFORE you bid, and ask whether an OPW scheme protects this address.
