The asking price is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €635,917, and it is the most expensive of the six homes currently for sale in Vliegende Vennen. However, the house is also 27% larger than the local average (197 m² vs 155 m²) and has an A energy label. Homes in this area sell quickly, typically within 12 days, which suggests demand is strong. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and efficiency.

The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A and 33.3% have A+. This means heating costs should be relatively low compared to older homes. The house was built in 2006, so it likely has good insulation and modern installations.

The nearest train station is 1.6 km from the house, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That makes commuting to nearby cities quite feasible.

Lidl is about 1 km away (a five-minute walk), and Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both around 1.2 km (a ten-minute walk). There is also an Aldi at 1.2 km. So daily shopping is easily done on foot or by bike.

The plot is 630 m², which includes the house and garden. The exact size and layout of the garden are not described in the listing, but a plot of this size typically allows for a good-sized private outdoor space.

With a floor area of 197 m² and a detached layout, it is likely to have at least three or four bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
