About Prinsengracht 373A, Amsterdam
The asking price is 69% below the neighbourhood average of €2,047,568, but the average home here is 168 m², much larger than this 65 m² apartment. The price per m² works out at about €9,615, which is below the neighbourhood average of €13,167/m². Given the prime canal location and the smaller size, the price is keen compared to other listings in Felix Meritisbuurt.
The energy label is D. This is common for a 1730 building, in the neighbourhood, 40.6% of homes have label D or lower. A D label means moderate energy efficiency; heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but the thick canal-house walls often provide good insulation. You can expect reasonable energy bills, but not as low as a label A home.

The price is well below the neighbourhood average, and the location on the Prinsengracht is highly desirable. However, the smaller size (65 m²) may limit the buyer pool. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of rental properties (61% are not owner-occupied), so there is potential for rental income. But investment decisions depend on your personal financial situation and goals.
