About Ambachtstraat 2B, Laren (Nh)
The asking price of €625,000 is 56% below the average asking price in Laren-Centrum (€1,416,400) and also well below the median of €985,000. However, this home is smaller than average (89 m² vs 165 m²) and is a semi-detached house in a neighbourhood where 69% of homes are owner-occupied. Given the compact size and the fact that similar homes in the area sell for a higher price per m², the price is keen and reflects the smaller floor area.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but not the highest standards. In Laren-Centrum, about 27% of homes have label C, while 37% have a label D or lower. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home with label A or B.
