Displayed prices are municipal medians: half of all sales are above, half below. The actual price of a property depends on its neighborhood, size, condition and EPC. It can therefore differ significantly from the median.

How to estimate a house price in Alken

Estimating a house means starting from the municipality's median price for that property type, then correcting that starting point for the features of the home.

The data shown above provides the market benchmark; the estimate consists of positioning a specific property around that benchmark.

The method comes down to four steps.

Note the price per square metre and the median house price shown on this page.
Apply that price to the living area to obtain a first range.
Correct for the condition of the building, how recent the last major works are and the EPC rating.
Compare the result with current listings for genuinely similar properties.

This method produces a range, not a price. It serves to frame the discussion with an agent, a notary or a banker, who will refine the value after a visit.

The factors that make an estimate vary

For the same surface area, two houses in the same municipality sometimes sell at very different prices, and the gaps almost always come from the same factors.

The indicators shown on this page make it possible to assess them one by one.

The neighbourhood: income by neighbourhood and quality-of-life scores place the area within the municipality.
Accessibility: the station, public transport and road links weigh on demand.
Energy: the EPC rating affects running costs and the room for negotiation.
General condition: roof, window frames, insulation and technical installations determine the works to plan for.

A property that combines several favourable signals sits at the top of the range, and the opposite applies to unfavourable signals.
