Energy label is becoming increasingly important when buying a home

Contact us

According to figures from the Dutch Association of Real Estate Agents (NVM), homes with a low energy label spend more time on the market. Compared to a home with an energy label A, a property with an energy label F takes three days longer to sell, while a home with label G remains on the market for five days longer. In addition to a longer selling period, energy-efficient homes are also achieving higher prices.

Higher energy label, higher price per square meter

Homes with a high energy label (A or B) also have an advantage in terms of price per square meter. NVM figures show that homes with an energy label A sell for an average of 7 percent more than those with an energy label F, a difference of 5 percent compared to the same period in 2021.

This difference in price per square meter is partly due to overbidding. Buyers are more likely to bid above the asking price if a home is energy efficient, as this leads to lower energy bills.

Type and location remain important

It is important to note that the type of property and its location are still relevant. Characteristic homes and certain neighborhoods in Amsterdam remain popular. This was also evident in an earlier news update about price declines in Amsterdam.

Energy costs are the main reason

The growing importance of energy labels is mainly due to rising energy prices. By choosing homes with a high energy label such as A or B, buyers can sometimes save thousands of euros per year.

Buying agent with technical expertise

As energy labels become more important, so does working with a buying agent who has technical expertise. This goes beyond simply knowing the Amsterdam housing market. A buying agent should take a closer look at the building condition and insulation options of a home.

The NVM-certified agents at Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam can use their technical background and years of experience to assess both the technical condition and the potential of a property. Together, you can then make a well-informed and successful offer.

Ik raad iedereen Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam B.V. van harte aan. Ben heeft mij ontzettend goed geholpen! Hij was duidelijk zeer deskundig, kent de Amsterdamse woningmarkt door en door, ging mee met bezichtigingen, hij ontzorgde mij volledig in het analyseren van de stukken van woning en notaris, maar het allerbelangrijkste: mijn eerste bod met Ben was direct raak!

Wij zijn zeer goed geholpen door Ben bij de aankoop van onze woning. Onze belangrijkste aanleiding voor het werken met een aankoopmakelaar was om ondersteuning te hebben bij het biedproces (en het bepalen van een goed bod zonder veel te veel te overbieden). De waarde van Ben bleek echter al meteen veel waardevoller dan dat te zijn, doordat hij ons met zijn ervaren en rationele blik liet inzien dat een woning waarop we eigenlijk een bod hadden willen uitbrengen, toch niet de juiste woning was voor ons.

Ben heeft ons daarna ondersteund bij andere bezichtigingen en er uiteindelijk ook voor gezorgd dat we op onze nieuwe woning een gepast, goed onderbouwd, en ook geaccepteerd bod hebben kunnen uitbrengen.

De ondersteuning en samenwerking gedurende het gehele proces waren daarnaast erg prettig en zorgden voor een stukje zekerheid en ontzorging. Ik zou Ben aan iedereen van harte aanbevelen!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Ben made the entire process smooth, transparent, and stress-free. His professionalism and deep knowledge of the Dutch housing market stood out immediately, and he was always available to answer questions with patience and clarity.

Ben went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of. He not only guided me through the complex paperwork but also offered valuable advice at every step, helping me feel confident in my decisions.

Thanks to Ben and the team at Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam, what could have been a stressful experience turned into an enjoyable and exciting journey. If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and highly skilled makler in the Netherlands, I wholeheartedly recommend Ben.

We can't say enough good things about Erik!

He made the journey of finding and buying our new apartment a smooth and manageable experience, which is a huge accomplishment in this challenging market. From the very beginning, he was a fantastic resource, always with a friendly and positive attitude, and he made himself available for our questions at all times (literally—he even responded while on vacation!). His deep knowledge of the market and sharp advice on pricing gave us the confidence we needed to make a great decision. On top of that, the mortgage advisor and property valuator he recommended were both top-notch. We are so happy with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend Erik to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent.
