About Nachtegaalstraat 19, Hilversum
The asking price of €449,500 is close to the neighbourhood average of €463,000 for semi-detached homes. However, this house is smaller than average (71 m² vs 101 m²), so the price per square metre (€6,331) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,781. Given the compact size and the fact that similar homes sell in about 29 days, the price seems in line with the market.
The house has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label, but far better than a G-label. In the neighbourhood, about 32% of homes have label A or better, while 32% are D or lower, so this home sits in the middle.
