About Mercuriusstraat 15, Amsterdam
The asking price of €325,000 is 34% below the average asking price in Tuindorp Oostzaan-Oost (€490,000) and is the lowest of the three apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €539,077, so this price is on the low side. However, the apartment is compact at 50 m² and has an E energy label, which means higher energy costs.
The energy label is E, which is below average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 100% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. An E label means you can expect higher heating bills compared to a more modern, insulated home. It's worth factoring that into your monthly budget.
