## Recent sales — 2 within 500 m

Median €1,895,000 (range €1,750,000 – €2,040,000).

2 matched to the exact address; 0 with beds, floor area and BER from the matched daft.ie advertisement.

| Sold | Price | Address | Beds | m² | BER | New build |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-06-06 | €1,750,000 | PINE LODGE, HOWTH SUMMIT, HOWTH | — | — | — | no |
| 2024-09-27 | €2,040,000 | RAVENSDALE, THORMANBY RD, BAILY | — | — | — | no |

*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`).*
