About De Gashouder 32, Zaandam
The asking price of €399,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €443,719 and the median of €405,000. Given that the apartment is new (2023) with an A+++ label, the price is competitive. However, the floor area is 26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 84 m², so the price per m² works out higher than average.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, only 21.4% of homes have an A+ label or better, so this apartment stands out.
