About Erasmuslaan 32, Amstelveen
The asking price of €475,000 is about 50% below the neighbourhood average of €945,575, but this apartment is also smaller than most homes in the area (83 m² vs. an average of 118 m²). The price per square metre works out to around €5,723, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,611. So it's priced keenly for its size, though the energy label E may mean higher running costs.
The energy label is E, which is less efficient than most homes for sale in the Van der Leekbuurt, over 76% of available properties have label A or better. An E label typically means higher heating bills, so it's worth factoring that into your budget. The home was built in 1960, so it may benefit from some modernisation.
