In Omaha, NE, more than 25 GI projects have been completed to date, with several featuring GI practices in public parks. Using a repeat sales model , we examined the effect of GI on the value of nearby single-family homes, based on housing sales and characteristic data from 2000 to 2018. We evaluated the sales price for homes using a buffer zone of 0-0.5km, and three additional models: homes within 0-0.25km, 0.25-0.5km, and greater than 0.5km from parks where GI was installed for 25,472 sale pairs. In addition to the repeat sales model, we performed a hot spot analysis on several demographic characteristics to capture systematic differences at a smaller spatial scale and over a longer time period than the repeat sales model could capture. We used US Census data on race and household income to examine changing patterns over time and space, and a spatial lag Maximum Likelihood Estimation model to determine if the location of GI correlated with either of these demographics. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Hoover, F., J. Price, and M. Hopton. Examining the Effects of Green Infrastructure on Residential Sales Prices in Omaha, NE. Urban Forestry & Urban Greening. Elsevier B.V., Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS, 54: 126778, (2020).

Rent prices per square meter in the largest Dutch cities have been on an upward trend after a slight decline in 2020. Amsterdam remained the most expensive city to live in, averaging a monthly rent of 27.6 euros per square meter for residential real estate in the private rental sector. Monthly rents in Utrecht were around six euros cheaper per square meter. Both cities were above the average rent price of residential property in the Netherlands overall, whereas Rotterdam and The Hague were slightly below that. Buying versus renting, what do the Dutch prefer? The Netherlands is one of Europe’s leading countries when it comes to homeownership, having funded this with a mortgage. In 2023, around 60 percent of people living in the Netherlands were homeowners with a mortgage. This is because Dutch homeowners were able to for many years to deduct interest paid from pre-tax income (a system known in the Netherlands as hypotheekrenteaftrek). This resulted in the Netherlands having one of the largest mortgage debts across the European continent. Total mortgage debt of Dutch households reached a value of approximately 803 billion euros in 2023. Is the Dutch housing market overheating? There are several indicators for the Netherlands that allow to investigate whether the housing market is overheating or not. House price indices corrected for inflation in the Netherlands suggest, for example, that prices have declined since 2022. The Netherlands’ house-price-to-rent-ratio, on the other hand, has exceeded the pre-crisis level in 2019. These figures, however, are believed to be significantly higher for cities like Amsterdam, as it was suggested for a long time that the prices of owner-occupied houses were increasing faster than rents in the private rental sector.

This table contains consumer prices for electricity and gas. Weighted average monthly prices are published broken down into transport rate, delivery rates and taxes, both including and excluding VAT. These prices are published on a monthly basis. The prices presented in this table were used to compile the CPI up to May 2023. Prices for newly offered contracts were collected. Contract types that are no longer offered, but have been in previous reporting periods, are imputed. The average can therefore diverge from the prices paid for energy contracts by Dutch households.

Data available from January 2018 up to May 2023.

Status of the figures: The figures are definitive.

Changes as of 17 July 2023: This table will no longer be updated. Due to a change in the underlying data and accompanying method for calculcating average energy prices, a new table was created. See paragraph 3.

Changes as of 13 February: Average delivery rates are not shown in this table from January 2023 up to May 2023. With the introduction of the price cap, the average energy rates (delivery rates) of fixed and variable energy contracts together remained useful for calculating a development for the CPI. However, as a pricelevel, they are less useful. Average energy prices from January 2023 up to May 2023 are published in a customized table. In this publication, only data concerning new variable contracts are taken into account

When will new figures be published? Does not apply.

In 2019, the total investment volume in commercial property in Amsterdam reached 3.6 billion euros. This is a decrease compared to the previous year. Despite that, commercial real estate investments in the first three quarters of 2018 in the Netherlands were ranked as the fourth highest of Europe.

A high demand for offices in Amsterdam…

Demand for office space in Amsterdam was almost as high as the demand in the three cities of The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam combined. In 2017, approximately 350,000 square meters was in demand in the Dutch capital. As the number of office completions could not keep up with the increasing demand, prices in certain Amsterdam districts went up. An office in a prime location in the city’s South Axis district (in Dutch: Zuidas, the Amsterdam business district) on average would cost around 48 U.S. dollars per square feet per year at the end of 2018.

… but less demand for warehouses or logistics property in the capital.

Amsterdam, however, was not the biggest logistics hotspot in the Netherlands. The take-up volume of logistics property in 2018 was highest in cities in the south of the country, such as Venlo (home of Trade Port Venlo Noord, which supplies fashion brands), Eindhoven and Tilburg. Rents for warehouses were lower in these southern cities, reaching 50 and 45 euros per square meter in Roosendaal and Venlo respectively compared to 65 and 95 euros per square meter in Amsterdam and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

Amsterdam is set to maintain its position as Europe's most expensive city for apartment rentals in 2025, with median costs reaching 2,500 euros per month for a furnished one-bedroom unit. This figure is double the rent in Prague and significantly higher than other major European capitals like Paris, Berlin, and Madrid. The stark difference in rental costs across European cities reflects broader economic trends, housing policies, and the complex interplay between supply and demand in urban centers. Factors driving rental costs across Europe The disparity in rental prices across European cities can be attributed to various factors. In countries like Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, a higher proportion of the population lives in rental housing. This trend contributes to increased demand and potentially higher living costs in these nations. Conversely, many Eastern and Southern European countries have homeownership rates exceeding 90 percent, which may help keep rental prices lower in those regions. Housing affordability and market dynamics The relationship between housing prices and rental rates varies significantly across Europe. As of 2024, countries like Turkey, Iceland, Portugal, and Hungary had the highest house price to rent ratio indices. This indicates a widening gap between property values and rental costs since 2015. The affordability of homeownership versus renting differs greatly among European nations, with some countries experiencing rapid increases in property values that outpace rental growth. These market dynamics influence rental costs and contribute to the diverse rental landscape observed across European cities.

In 2023, the most expensive residential rental market in Europe was London (inner) with rental costs of approximately **** euros per square meter. Dublin and Paris followed with rental costs of **** and **** euros per square meter. Rents increased across most markets - a trend that could also be observed in the housing market. How much does an apartment cost in different European cities? Renting a furnished studio apartment in some of the leading cities in Europe can cost anywhere between *** euros monthly (Budapest) and ***** euros (Amsterdam) per month. For afurnished one-bedroom apartment in Paris, France, one may be expected to pay on average ***** euros monthly. Which countries have the most affordable housing? The house price to rent ratio is an indicator of the affordability of owning housing over renting across European countries and is calculated as the nominal house prices divided by a rent price index. The higher the ratio, the more the gap between house prices and rental rates has widened since 2015 when the index base was 100. As of the fourth quarter of 2021, Finland, Italy, and Belgium had the lowest house price to rent ratio, meaning that buying a house was most affordable there compared to renting.

The primary rental rates per square meter for warehouses of more than ***** square meters increased in the Netherlands in 2025. The rental rate of warehouses in Rotterdam and Amsterdam amounted to ** euros per square meter each in the first quarter of 2025. Due to the small size of the country and the relatively high connectivity to the big cities, there is less of a need for urban distribution centers (DCs) like in London or Berlin. Most take-up of logistics property could be found in the south of the country: the Venlo-Venray-Eindhoven area, along with Western Brabant (Breda-Moerdijk-Roosendaal). Which warehouses can be found in the south of the Netherlands? Most of the logistics property in the Netherlands was taken up for third-party logistics behind European retailers and e-commerce companies. Many international brands opened DCs in the country. Venlo, for example, supplies European fashion brands Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Under Armour via Trade Port Venlo Noord. Lidl opened its European e-commerce DC close to the city of Roosendaal in 2018. Other areas outside the big cities are also gaining interest, however. Spain’s Inditex (the company behind Zara, Pull&Bear and Berschka) are to open a logistics center in Lelystad (east of Amsterdam and north of Utrecht) in 2019. Bigger = better? In 2022, demand was highest for medium and large-sized logistics property. Bigger properties allow more flexibility, but the supply of large lots for such facilities is limited. On the other hand, smaller properties can be built closer to urban centers, allowing for easy reach to the end customer.

As of December, 2024, there were over ** thousand listings for room and apartment rentals in London on the Airbnb website, the highest of any other major European city. Airbnb listings were also high in Paris, Rome and Madrid. Paris accounted for around ** thousand listings, while Rome and Madrid had over ** and ** thousand, respectively. Controversy of Airbnb in Europe Airbnb has become an increasingly popular option for tourists looking for local accommodation. Visitors are attracted to using Airbnb properties instead of hotels and other traditional travel accommodation mainly due to cheaper prices, but also for the location, and to gain an authentic experience. However, the site is facing ongoing legal problems, with some destinations moving to ban or restrict rentals from the site because they worsen housing problems and undermining hotel regulations. Many European cities, including Amsterdam and Paris, have placed limits on the length of rentals, and others such as Barcelona have introduced strict regulations for hosts. The rise of Airbnb Airbnb is one of the most successful companies in the global sharing economy. The company was founded in San Francisco, California in 2008, after being conceived by two entrepreneurs looking for a way to offset their high rental costs. Airbnb was developed as an online platform for hosts to rent out their properties on a short-term basis. It now competes with other online travel booking websites, including Booking.com and Expedia.
