## Recent sales — 4 within 500 m

Median €690,000 (range €400,000 – €860,000).

1 matched to the exact address; 1 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`).*
