## Recent sales — 7 within 1,000 m

Median €404,000 (range €135,000 – €1,000,000), median €4,222/m².

7 matched to the exact address; 2 with beds, floor area and BER from the matched daft.ie advertisement.

*PPR addresses are geocoded, not surveyed — a sale's position is as good as its address match (`rooftop_n` says how many are address-accurate). Beds, floor area, BER and asking price come from the matched daft.ie advertisement, not from the Register, and only where a match was found (`enriched_n`).*
