Frequently asked questions
About Ceintuurbaan 61-2, Amsterdam
How does the asking price compare with the WOZ value?
The asking price of €650,000 is 13% above the WOZ value of €577,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value. The difference is a fact, not a judgement. The neighbourhood average asking price is €632,163, so this home is priced above that average as well.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A++, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have relatively low energy costs compared with less efficient labels. Only 3.3% of the homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood have label A+ or better, so this is a standout feature. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
