About Pieter de Hoochstraat 7C, Amsterdam
The asking price of €950,000 is 72% below the neighbourhood average of €3.4 million, but that average is skewed by very large homes. The median price in the Johannes Vermeerbuurt is €1,795,000, so this apartment is priced well below that. Given its 105 m² and modern build, it is keenly priced for the area.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are low and the home is well-insulated. In the neighbourhood, all homes with known labels are rated C, so this A label is a significant advantage.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride. The area is well-served by trams and buses for connections to the rest of Amsterdam.
Several schools are within walking distance. The Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam (secondary) is 235 m away, Sweelinck College (secondary) is 328 m, and Basisschool Het Museumkwartier (primary) is 423 m. The Barlaeus Gymnasium is also close at 546 m.
Currently, there are only 3 apartments for sale in the Johannes Vermeerbuurt, with prices ranging from €900,000 to €7,480,000. This limited supply makes the market quite tight, and homes sell relatively quickly, the average time on market for sold properties is 57 days.
