About Buntlaan 44, Maarn
The asking price is €675,000, which is about 7% above the neighbourhood average of €631,250. However, this is a nearly new home (built in 2021) with an A++ energy label, while many homes in Maarn-Dorp are older. The average price per square metre in the area is €4,991, and this home works out at €4,787/m², slightly below that average. So while the total price is on the high side, you're getting a modern, efficient home.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump or solar panels. Your heating and electricity bills will be low, and the home is comfortable year-round. In the neighbourhood, only 23% of homes have an A+ label or better, so this is a standout feature.
