About Spaarndamseweg 450C, Haarlem
The asking price of €845,000 is significantly above the neighbourhood median of €395,000 and the average sold price of €508,571. However, this apartment is much larger than average (129 m² vs 82 m²) and has an exceptional A+++ energy label, which justifies a premium. The price per m² works out to about €6,550, compared to the neighbourhood average of €4,817 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and efficiency.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the Molukkenbuurt, none of the other homes for sale have label A+ or better, so this is a standout feature. An A+++ label also contributes to a smaller carbon footprint and may make the home more future-proof as energy standards tighten.
At 129 m², this apartment is 57% larger than the neighbourhood average of 82 m². The average sold home in the area is also around 82 m², so this is a spacious option. The larger floor area likely explains part of the price difference compared to other listings.
The Molukkenbuurt is family-friendly: 240 households have children, and the average household size is 2.4.
