About Merwedeplein 23-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 15% below the average asking price in Scheldebuurt-Oost (€766,056) and also below the median of €722,500. However, the apartment is smaller than average (74 m² vs 111 m²). Given the lower price per m² (€8,770 vs the neighbourhood average of €8,137), it's priced keenly for its size.
The energy label is D. In this neighbourhood, 52.6% of homes have label C and 21.1% have D or lower, so D is on the lower end. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not the most efficient. The home was built in 1931, so some insulation improvements may be possible.
