Frequently asked questions
About Westerkade 12L, Amsterdam
Is €450,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €450,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €499,833 and the median of €497,500. However, at €9,000 per m² it is slightly above the average of €8,817 per m² for the area. Given the energy label E and the age of the building, the price is in line with the market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property.

The Zaagpoortbuurt has very few families with children, only 50 out of 945 residents are under 15. Most households are single people, so it's a quiet, adult-oriented area. There are primary and secondary schools within walking distance, but the neighbourhood itself is not particularly family-focused.

There are currently 6 apartments for sale in the Zaagpoortbuurt, with prices ranging from €375,000 to €629,000. The average time on the market for sold homes is 23 days, indicating a fairly active market.
