About Van Haersmasingel 13, Drachten
The asking price of €485,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €450,000 and the median of €450,000. However, the home has an exceptional A+++ energy label, which is rare in the area, none of the other homes for sale have that rating. The floor area is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 139 m², so the price per m² is higher. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the energy efficiency.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 100% of homes for sale have label A, but none have A+ or better. An A+++ label is a significant advantage for both your monthly bills and the home's environmental impact.
