About Hogesteeg 83, Amersfoort
The asking price of €875,000 is well above the neighbourhood median of €395,000, but this home is much larger (164 m² vs 77 m² average) and has a modern A+ energy label. Recently sold homes in De Baken averaged €594,500, so the price reflects the premium for a new-build semi-detached house with generous space.
