About Soestdijkerstraatweg 8A, Hilversum
The asking price of €445,000 is 55% below the average asking price in Schilderskwartier (€998,375) and also below the median of €735,000. However, this apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (89 m² vs 170 m²) and has an E energy label, which explains the lower price. Compared to recent sales in the area, which averaged €760,023, it appears keenly priced.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Schilderskwartier, about 33% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war property.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting by rail quite convenient from this location.

At 89 m², this apartment is 48% smaller than the average home in Schilderskwartier, which is 170 m². That's because the neighbourhood has many larger single-family houses. For an apartment, 89 m² is a reasonable size, especially in a pre-war building.
