About Koorstraat 49, Alkmaar
The asking price of €899,000 is 128% above the average asking price in Binnenstad-West (€394,318) and is the highest of the 33 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area of 133 m² is 75% larger than the average of 76 m², and the home is a terraced house in the historic centre. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the central location and period character over modern efficiency.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected.
