About Houwerzijlstraat 14, Groningen
The asking price of €239,000 is 41% below the average asking price in Hoogkerk Dorp (€408,333) and also below the average sold price of €315,682. However, the floor area is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average, and the energy label G means higher heating costs. Given the lower price per m² compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,157, it appears keenly priced for its size and condition.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high energy bills for heating and hot water. The home likely has poor insulation and an older heating system. While the exact costs depend on usage, it's a factor to budget for. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
Hoogkerk Dorp has a mix of households: about 30% are families with children, 29% are couples without children, and 43% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool Rehoboth at 168 m and kindcentrum Anne Frank at 891 m. The area is quiet and village-like, with a park 1 km away.
The nearest train station is 4.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. A car or bicycle is more practical for daily commuting.
In the past period, 11 homes sold in the neighbourhood with an average price of €315,682 and an average time on market of 23 days. The asking price of €239,000 is well below that average, but the home is also smaller (93 m² vs 130 m² average) and has a poor energy label. The price per m² is about €2,570, compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,157.
The exact layout and size of the garden are not specified, but the home has outdoor space.
The house was built in 1939, so it has pre-war character with features like high ceilings and original details. Many homes in the neighbourhood (83%) were built before 1945, so this is typical. The energy label G suggests original single glazing and poor insulation, which may need upgrading.
