About Dr. C.W.H. van Raaltenpark 49, Zaandam
The asking price of €450,000 is 44% above the neighbourhood average of €311,625. However, this apartment is also 41% larger than the typical home in the area (90 m² vs 64 m²). The price per square metre works out at €5,000, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,206 per m². So while the total price is high, the size-adjusted price is in line with the market.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have higher heating costs compared to a more modern property.
