About Boutershemstraat 29A, Bergen Op Zoom
The asking price of €449,000 is 30% below the neighbourhood average of €641,714, which makes it keenly priced. However, the energy label G means you should budget for high heating costs. The average sold price in the area is €448,100, so the asking price aligns closely with recent sales.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and will have high heating bills. In the neighbourhood, 57.1% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-1945 property. You may want to consider insulation improvements.
Vestinggronden-Zuid has 125 households with children out of 675 total, so it's not a family-dominated area. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk and a secondary school within a ten-minute walk. The area is very urban with a high density, so gardens are small or absent.
The train station is 1.4 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The high address density suggests good public transport coverage.
The house was built in 1920, so it's over a century old. The energy label G suggests the original single glazing and poor insulation may still be present. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should expect some updating.
The plot is 236 m², which is generous for a terraced house in a historic city centre. However, the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden, patio, or courtyard. Given the urban setting, outdoor space is likely but its exact form is not stated.
The average asking price for a home in this neighbourhood is €641,714, but that includes larger and more expensive properties. The median is €550,000. At €449,000, this house is below both figures. The average price per m² is €2,573, while this home works out at €1,522 per m², reflecting its low energy label.
