What is your property really worth?

The housing market in Amsterdam is dynamic, especially in the Center and Old West. You may be wondering, “How does a real estate agent know what my house is worth?” The value of your home is not simply guessed, but carefully calculated based on dozens of factors.

A realistic valuation not only helps you get the right asking price, but also a smooth sale without disappointment later.

Key factors in a valuation

An experienced real estate agent looks beyond square footage. At Realtor in Amsterdam, we analyze such things as:

• The condition of the home – how good is the finish, maintenance and insulation?

• Area and layout – logical use of space makes a big difference.

• Floor and outdoor space – an apartment with a balcony or roof terrace scores higher.

• Location – Center, Old West or just across the canals can affect the price considerably.

• HOA and ground lease – a healthy HOA and favorable ground lease terms give buyers confidence.

• Marketability – how broad an audience does your property appeal to?

• Comparable sales – recent transactions in the neighborhood are a strong indicator.

Local examples from Amsterdam Center & Oud-West

An apartment on Elandsgracht or Lindengracht is valued differently than an upstairs apartment on Hoofdweg. Even within one neighborhood, the price difference per square meter can be hundreds of euros. This is why local knowledge is crucial.

At Realtor in Amsterdam, we combine market data with our years of experience in the city center and Oud-West. This allows us to accurately assess which asking price is realistic and attractive to buyers.

Online value tools vs. brokerage insights

Online tools give a rough estimate based on public data, but do not take into account finishes, views or atmosphere.
A real estate agent looks at the home in person, sees details that data does not capture, think light, layout or noise.

Thus, accurate valuation always requires human expertise.
