About Tukseweg 26, Steenwijk
The asking price of €310,000 is 34% below the average asking price in Torenlanden (€468,563). However, this home is also smaller than average (92 m² vs 140 m²). Given the compact size and the need for some updating (it's from 1906), the price seems in line with the market. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €419,864, so this is a more affordable entry point.
The home has energy label B, which is quite efficient for a house built in 1906. In the neighbourhood, only about 17% of homes have label B or better, so this is a positive feature. You can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older, uninsulated homes.
