Frequently asked questions
About Vaartweg 26A, Hilversum
Is €295,000 a fair price for this flat?
The asking price of €295,000 is 45% below the average asking price in Centrum (€536,620) and also below the median of €486,000. However, this flat is smaller than average (71 m² vs 98 m²) and has an E energy label, which explains part of the difference. Compared to the cheapest home in the neighbourhood (€219,000), it sits in the lower range.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In Centrum, about 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is on the less efficient side.
