About Oostdijk 33, Heerhugowaard
The asking price is 30% above the average asking price in De Draai Noord (€636,125). However, this home has a very large plot of 3,785 m², which is exceptional for the area. The price per square metre of floor area (€5,189) is also above the neighbourhood average of €4,373 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the land.
The home has energy label D. In a neighbourhood where all other available homes have label A, this is a significant difference. Label D means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs. It may be worth considering improvements such as insulation or solar panels.
The plot measures 3,785 m², which is very large for a home in this neighbourhood. The garden is not described in detail in the listing, but with that amount of land, there is plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play, or even extending the house (subject to planning permission).
