About Verlengde Voorstraat 8G, Wijk Aan Zee
The asking price is 33% below the neighbourhood average of €727,758, but the apartment is also much smaller than average (60 m² vs 206 m²). The price per square metre works out to €8,150, which is above the neighbourhood average of €6,342 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the compact size. It is a keen price for a seaside location, but the missing energy label and build year make it hard to fully assess value.
