About Middenweg 152A, Middenbeemster
The asking price of €550,000 is 18% below the average asking price in Middenbeemster (€667,469) and also below the median of €572,500. Given the 122 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,508 per m², which is under the neighbourhood average of €4,868 per m². So it's priced keenly compared to other homes currently on the market.
Energy label E indicates the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Middenbeemster, most homes for sale have labels A or B, so this one is below average in efficiency. The exact costs depend on usage, but it's worth factoring in higher monthly energy expenses.
Homes in this neighbourhood sell quickly, the average time on the market for sold properties is just 6 days. That suggests demand is strong, so if you're interested, you'll want to move promptly. The 427 homes sold in the area recently indicate an active market.
Middenbeemster has a family-friendly character: 42% of households have children, and 86% of homes are single-family houses. There are several primary schools within walking or cycling distance, and the village has a low crime rate (141 total offences). It's a quiet, safe environment with plenty of green space nearby.
The nearest train station is 7.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike, car or bus to reach it.
Albert Heijn is just 245 m away, a two-minute walk. For other options, Lidl, PLUS and Dekamarkt are about 4.5 km away, so you'd need to drive or cycle for a full weekly shop. There are 7 supermarkets within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
With a price below the neighbourhood average and a fast-selling market (6 days average), the home could appreciate. However, the energy label E may deter some buyers in future, and renovation costs could be significant. The area has a stable population and high homeownership rate (69%), which supports long-term value.
