Frequently asked questions
About Spreeuwenlaan 21, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €675,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €675,000 was 40% below the neighbourhood average of €1,117,333, which made it a keen price for a 133 m² apartment in Vogelwijk. However, the energy label E meant higher energy costs, and the home dates from 1923, so maintenance might be a factor. The median price in the area was €1,167,500, so this listing was at the lower end of the market.
