About Gerard Brandtstraat 16H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,800,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €1,550,000, but the apartment is also larger than average (142 m² vs 121 m²).

However, homes in this area sell quickly, within 17 days on average, and recent sales have gone for around €1,984,000, suggesting the market is strong.
The apartment has an energy label B, which is good for a pre-war building. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, with lower heating costs compared to older, uninsulated properties. All homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood have label A or better, so this one is slightly less efficient than the newest builds, but still well above average for its era.
