The asking price of €395,000 was very close to the median of €400,000 for homes at the time for sale in the Van der Pekbuurt. Given the 42 m² floor area and A energy label, it was priced in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either.
What is the Van der Pekbuurt like to live in?
