About Schoutstraat 8, Rijen
The asking price of €395,000 is below the neighbourhood median of €412,000 and the average of €437,600. Given that the living area (88 m²) is smaller than the typical 121 m² in Vijf Eiken, the price per m² (€4,489) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,707. So it's priced keenly overall, but you're paying a premium per square metre.
