About Hoefakkerstraat 79, Tilburg
The asking price is 58% above the neighbourhood average of €335,775, but this home is also 76% larger than the typical Besterd home (72 m²). Per square metre, the price of roughly €4,165 is below the neighbourhood average of €5,163/m², so you are getting more space for a lower per-m² rate. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres and the pre-war character.
The home has energy label C. That is a decent score for a house built in 1905. In Besterd, 42% of homes have label A and 16% have label C, so this is in the middle of the pack. Label C means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but you may still want to budget for heating in winter.
