About Vaartweg 26A, Hilversum
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.
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. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The majority of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have a better energy performance.
Very convenient. An Aldi is just around the corner (391 m), and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away (490 m). There's also a Dirk and a Hoogvliet within walking distance. For a quick bite, a restaurant is on your doorstep (100 m).
