About Eemsstraat 31-3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 35% below the average asking price in Rijnbuurt-Oost (€673,625) and also below the median of €625,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (46 m² vs 69 m²) and has an energy label D, while most homes in the neighbourhood have better labels. Given the compact size and lower energy rating, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a starter home in this sought-after area.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient, it will have higher energy costs than homes with labels A, B or C. In the neighbourhood, 22.2% of homes have label A, 14.8% label B, and 44.4% label C, so this apartment is on the lower end of the scale. You should budget for higher heating bills compared to a more efficient home.
