About Willem de Zwijgerlaan 28-3, Amsterdam
The asking price is €525,000, which is above the neighbourhood median of €495,000. However, the apartment is 65 m², while the average for sale in the area is 50 m². So you are getting more space. The energy label F is a downside, as most other listings have a better label. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres.
