About Jan van Galenstraat 175-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €450,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €480,000 and the average sold price of €503,133. Given the 55 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €8,182, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €8,276. So it's priced keenly compared to recent sales.
The energy label is D. In a neighbourhood where most available homes have a better energy label, this means heating costs are likely higher than average. Label D is not the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy bills.
