About Molecatenlaan 76, Ugchelen
The asking price of €629,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €519,500 but close to the average sale price of €612,333 for homes sold recently. Given the 159 m² floor area and 400 m² plot, the price per m² is about €3,956, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €4,313. So it is in line with recent market activity, though on the higher side of the range.

The house was built in 1983, so some improvements like better insulation or a more efficient heating system could be worth considering.
