About Brouwersgracht 232K, Amsterdam
The asking price of €460,000 is about 50% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€911,739). However, this apartment is also smaller than average (55 m² vs 95 m²). The price per square metre works out at roughly €8,364, which is below the neighbourhood average of €9,765 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, but the compact floor area explains the lower total price.
