That asking price sat 51% below the average last known asking price of €516,667 for homes in this neighbourhood, which put it on the low side compared with the local market.

The home itself
The studio was built in 1935 and carries an energy label D. The living area is 38 m² according to the BAG registration, which is 61% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 97 m². The listing did not provide further details about the layout, so the exact arrangement of the space was not described. What was clear was that this was a compact, single-space home in a building from the 1930s, and the energy label D suggested that heating costs would be moderate rather than minimal.

WOZ and address data
There was no WOZ value available for this property, so no comparison with the asking price could be made. The address-level risk data indicates that road traffic noise is above the norm at 49 dB Lden, while railway noise at 31 dB Lden stays below the norm. The foundation risk indication is elevated, based on the 1935 construction on clay soil, and this is an area-level indication rather than an inspection of this specific home. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is indicated as elevated, as is the current flood risk, while the flood risk for 2050 is low. Heat stress is medium now and in 2050. These are public data indications at area level, not an assessment of this particular property.
