About Frederik van Eedenplaats 159, Capelle Aan Den Ijssel
The asking price of €259,000 is 50% below the neighbourhood average of €522,250, making it the cheapest of the eight apartments currently for sale in Dichtersbuurt. However, the floor area (85 m²) is 33% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 126 m², and the energy label is G, which means higher energy costs. Compared to recent sales in the area (average €437,606), the price is on the low side, but the home's condition and energy efficiency will affect its true value.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, and none have A or A+ labels. The home was built in 1967, so insulation and heating systems are likely outdated. Budget for potential upgrades to improve efficiency.

At €259,000, this is the cheapest of the eight apartments currently for sale in Dichtersbuurt. The neighbourhood average asking price is €522,250, and the average sold price recently was €437,606. However, this home is smaller (85 m² vs 126 m² average) and has a poor energy label. The low price reflects these factors, so it's a budget option in an expensive market.
This is an apartment built in 1967. Given the size and era, it likely has two or three bedrooms, but you would need to view the property to confirm the exact layout.
Recently sold homes in Dichtersbuurt took an average of 77 days to sell. That's a bit over two and a half months, which suggests a balanced market, not too fast, not too slow. This home's low price might attract interest, but the energy label could deter some buyers.
