About Dijkstraat 54, Franeker
The asking price is 40% below the average neighbourhood asking price of €409,194, and also below the median of €331,250. However, the apartment is smaller than average (95 m² vs 179 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Compared to recent sales in the area (average €342,099), the price looks keen, but the condition and energy efficiency should be factored in.
The energy label is F, which is low on the scale. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs are likely to be significant. In the neighbourhood, 47.1% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property, but it is something to budget for.
