About Sarphatistraat 488, Amsterdam
The asking price of €675,000 is 41% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€1,138,571) and close to the median of €615,000. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €725,500, so this listing is on the keen side. However, the energy label D is less efficient than most other homes for sale in the neighbourhood, which may factor into the price.
The energy label is D. For a building from 1771, this is not unusual, but it does mean heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home. In the neighbourhood, 80% of homes for sale have label C and 20% have label B, so this home is less efficient than the current local stock.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk. This makes it feasible for commuting, though you may prefer a bike or tram for the journey.
