About Vossiusstraat 39H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 115% above the neighbourhood average of €2,864,900, but this apartment is also 37% larger than the average (250 m² vs 182 m²) and has an A+ energy label, which is rare in a pre-war building. The maximum asking price in the neighbourhood is €6,200,000, so this is at the top end. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and efficiency.
An A+ label means the home is very energy-efficient, so heating and electricity bills will be relatively low compared to older homes in the neighbourhood, where 16.7% have a D label or worse. You won't need to worry about high energy costs, and the home is well-insulated.
