Frequently asked questions
About Middelweg 63, Leersum
Was €875,000 a fair price for this detached home?
The asking price of €875,000 was 31% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€1,270,333) and also below the median of €695,000? Actually, the median was €695,000, so €875,000 was above the median. However, given the large plot and the fact that similar homes in the area sell for an average of €553,571 (based on recent sales), the price was on the high side compared to recent sales but at the time below the average asking price for current listings.
