About Soembawastraat 75-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €420,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €458,000 and the median of €450,000. Given the 46 m² floor area, that works out to about €9,130 per m², which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €8,552 per m². So while the total price is competitive, the per-square-metre cost is a touch higher than typical for the area.
