About Orion 22, Loon Op Zand
The asking price is 20% above the neighbourhood average of €692,625 and is the highest of the four homes currently for sale in Molenwijk (zuid). However, the floor area is 30% larger than the average (228 m² vs 175 m²), and the plot is generous at 551 m². Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the detached setting.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label A, 40% have label C, and 20% have label D or lower. So label D is less efficient than much of the local stock, meaning higher heating costs can be expected. The home was built in 1978, so improvements like better insulation may be worth considering.
The nearest train station is 8.8 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a car or bike to reach it, or take a bus. The area is more car-dependent overall.
