About Rouaansekaai 23, Middelburg
The asking price of €1,200,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €466,868 and the median of €425,000. However, this home is exceptional: 532 m² of living space in a historic corner house from 1765. It's the most expensive of the 34 homes currently for sale in Damplein. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the size, age, and location. Comparable sales in the area averaged €401,056 over the past period, but those were much smaller homes.
The energy label is D. For a home built in 1765, that's not unusual. Label D means the home is moderately efficient. You can expect higher energy costs than a modern home, but it's not the worst. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's in line with the area's older housing stock.
The plot is 285 m². The home itself has 532 m² of living space, so it's a substantial property. The plot size is not huge for a corner house, but the home's footprint is large.
The Damplein neighbourhood recorded 112 total crimes in the latest data. That's a number to consider, but without a per-capita comparison it's hard to judge.
