About William Harveystraat 20, Haarlem
The asking price of €400,000 is significantly lower than the average sold price in the neighbourhood (€426,000) and the average asking price (€595,000). Given the 95 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,211 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,509 per m². So it appears to be priced keenly.
