The asking price of €575,000 is 5% below the WOZ value of €603,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is lower than the municipal valuation, but the WOZ value is not the same as the market value. The WOZ is an official assessment used for taxes, and the actual sale price can differ. It is a fact that the price is below the WOZ, but whether that makes it a bargain depends on the market.

However, the label itself does not guarantee specific costs, as usage habits also play a role.
