Most buyers make the same mistake.
They think the asking price is the value of the property.
In Amsterdam, that is often not the case.
The asking price is usually a marketing strategy. The final selling price depends on demand, location, condition, comparable sales and the competition at that moment.
That is why relying on Funda alone can be misleading. Funda shows asking prices, not what buyers actually paid.
A successful offer is not always the highest offer either. Sellers also look at financial certainty, conditions, completion date and the confidence that the transaction will go through.
Understanding how the market works before you start viewing homes can save you time, money and disappointment.
Swipe through the carousel to learn why asking price and market value are rarely the same.
