About Rubensstraat 104-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,380,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €1,211,364 and the median of €1,137,500. However, at 130 m², it is larger than the average sold home in the area (121 m²). The price per m² works out to about €10,615, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €10,066. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and the classic 1931 character.
The energy label is D. This is a common label for pre-war buildings in the area, nearly half of homes in Minervabuurt-Zuid have a label D or lower. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a modern home. You can expect to spend more on gas and electricity compared to a B or A label.
