About Breitnerstraat 8, Woerden
The asking price of €550,000 is close to the median sold price of €507,500 in the neighbourhood, and below the average sold price of €553,789. Given the 135 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €4,074, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,937 per m². So it appears priced for the area.
The home has energy label C. This means it has reasonable energy efficiency, not the best, but far from the worst. You can expect moderate heating costs. In the neighbourhood, about 32% of homes have label A, 11% label B, and 26% label C, so this home is around the middle of the pack.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting by train feasible but not on your doorstep.
