Frequently asked questions
About Groenhoven 711, Amsterdam
Was €285,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €285,000 was 42% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€492,889) and also below the median of €350,000. However, the apartment was smaller than average (52 m² vs 101 m²) and had an energy label E, which might mean higher energy costs. Given the lower price per square metre compared to the neighbourhood average, it appeared keenly priced for a starter home in Amsterdam.

The energy label is E, which indicates the home is not very energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, 80% of homes have a label C or better, so this apartment is below average in terms of energy performance.
