About Veerstraat 38A, Hilversum
Yes, it's notably keen. The average asking price in Centrum is €536,620, and the median is €486,000. This flat is 35% below the neighbourhood average, even though its 84 m² is close to the typical size. The lower price reflects the older energy label D and the pre-war construction, but it's still a sharp deal for a central Hilversum apartment.
Label D is average for a 1934 home, it's not the most efficient, so you can expect moderate heating costs. In Centrum, about 30% of homes have label D or worse, while 44% are A or better. You'll want to budget for higher energy use than a modern flat, but the purchase price compensates.
Very convenient. Supermarkets are on your doorstep, Albert Heijn and Dirk are within a two-minute walk. Restaurants are even closer, at 100 m. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, and primary and secondary schools are both about a five-minute walk. It's a compact, walkable centre.
Centrum is dominated by one-person households (about 63% of all households) and young adults aged 25-45 make up 44% of the population. Families with children are a minority. So you'll be among many singles and couples who value city living over space.
In the past year, 82 homes sold in Centrum, with an average selling time of 33 days. That's fairly brisk, it suggests demand is healthy. Given this flat's market-rate price, it may attract interest quickly.
