Frequently asked questions
About Molenstraat 167, Assen
Was €395,000 a fair price for this home?
The asking price of €395,000 was above the neighbourhood average of €355,188 and the median of €337,500. However, this is a semi-detached house with a 245 m² plot and energy label B, which are desirable features. The average price per m² in the area was €3,559, so at €4,647/m² this home was priced at a premium. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the garden and the efficient energy label.
