About Marktstraat 3, Naarden
The asking price of €989,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €1,030,000, but the apartment is also smaller than average (69 m² vs 152 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €14,333, which is high compared to the neighbourhood average of €6,770/m².
