Frequently asked questions
About Bernhardus Bumastraat 30, Leeuwarden
Was €245,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €245,000 was 43% below the average asking price in Achter de Hoven (€426,615) and also below the median of €405,000. However, the house has an energy label F and is from 1926, so it likely needs investment in insulation and heating.
