About Oost-Dorsch 18, Zaandam
The asking price of €310,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €355,000 and the median of €357,500. With 82 m², that works out to about €3,780 per m², which is slightly under the neighbourhood average of €3,863 per m². So it's priced keenly compared to other homes in Poelenburg Zuid.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have label C and half have label D or lower, so this home is on the lower end of efficiency.
