About Julianastraat 28, Bocholtz
Is €489,000 a fair price for this detached house?
The asking price of €489,000 is 54% above the average asking price in Bocholtz, which is €318,000. However, this home is also 31% larger than the average (200 m² vs 153 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €2,445, compared to the neighbourhood average of €2,279 per m². So it is on the high side, but you are paying for extra space.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels: 20% have A+, 20% have A, and 40% have C. Only 20% are rated D or lower. With label F, you can expect higher heating bills, so it is worth factoring that into your budget.

The plot is 801 m², which is generous, but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space.
