The asking price of €125,000 is 64% below the average asking price in Spekholzerheide (€344,250). However, this studio is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average (44 m² vs 186 m²). Given the compact size and energy label C, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a studio of this type in Kerkrade.
The home has energy label C. This means it has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, not the best, but far from the worst.
