About Kerkstraat 110, Amsterdam
The asking price is 76% above the neighbourhood average of €1,648,105, but the apartment is also 35% larger than the average (186 m² vs 138 m²) and has a top energy label A+. Recent new-builds in the Spiegelbuurt are rare, so the premium reflects the combination of size, modernity and location. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value those extras.
An A+ label means the home is very energy-efficient, so heating and electricity bills will be low compared to older properties. In the Spiegelbuurt, only 13% of homes for sale have A+, so this is a standout feature. You won't face the high energy costs typical of the area's older stock.
The Spiegelbuurt is a quiet, refined neighbourhood with a high concentration of antique dealers and galleries. It's predominantly singles and couples, with few children.
