The asking price of €249,500 is 45% below the average asking price in Stiens (€449,881) and also below the median of €395,000. Given the floor area of 226 m², the price per m² works out at about €1,104, which is well under the neighbourhood average of €2,639 per m². This makes it a keenly priced property, though the energy label E means heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home.

The home has energy label E. In Stiens, most homes for sale have a better label: 27% are label A, 27% label B, and only 27% are label D or lower. Label E means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills. It may be worth budgeting for improvements like insulation or double glazing.
