About Nieuwstraat 31, Lage Zwaluwe
The asking price of €595,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €460,000 and the median of €460,000.

The price per m² works out to about €4,407, compared to the neighbourhood average of €2,705 per m². Given the limited supply, only two homes for sale in Grienden, the price reflects the unique character of this property.
