About Johan Buijeslaan 18, Monnickendam
The asking price is 25% above the average asking price in Markgouw (€638,111), but this home is larger than most: 170 m² on a 598 m² plot, while the neighbourhood average is 139 m². Detached homes in Waterland are scarce, so the premium reflects the size and type. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet location.
The home has energy label C. That is a solid middle-of-the-road rating, not as efficient as A or B, but far better than D or lower. In Markgouw, 55.6% of homes have label C, so this is typical for the area. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as a modern, well-insulated home.
