The asking price of €550,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €498,292 and the median of €520,000. However, this apartment is newer (built in 2019) and has an A energy label, which adds value. The average price per m² in the area is €5,587, so at €6,111 per m², it's on the higher end. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value modern construction and low energy costs.
