About Wijde Geldelozepad 29RD, Haarlem
The asking price of €525,000 is significantly below the neighbourhood average of €1,056,115 and the median of €1,082,500. However, this apartment is smaller (87 m²) than the average (166 m²) and is an older building (1910) with energy label C. Given that similar apartments in the area sell for around €6,521 per m², this one works out at about €6,034 per m², slightly below the average. So it appears keenly priced, but the lower square footage and older construction explain the difference.
