About Marktstraat 3, Bolsward
The asking price is 43% above the average for Bolsward binnen De Wallen (€460,864), but this home is also 57% larger than the typical property there (180 m² vs 282 m²).

Whether it's fair depends on how much you value a historic home with generous proportions.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. Heating costs will be high, especially in winter.
