What is the average price of residential property in the Netherlands? In the third quarter of 2024, a single-family home cost approximately 434,000 euros. There were large differences between the Dutch provinces, however. Single-family homes were most expensive in the central province of Utrecht with an average price of 731,000 euros, whereas a similar house in Groningen had an average price tag of 384,000 euros. Overall, the average price a private individual would pay when buying any type of existing residential property (such as single-family homes but also, for example, an apartment) was approximately 416,000 euros in 2023. Do the Dutch prefer to buy or to rent a house? The Netherlands had a slightly higher homeownership rate (the share of owner-occupied dwellings of all homes) in 2023 than other countries in Northwestern Europe. About 70 percent of all Dutch houses were owned, whereas this percentage was lower in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. This is an effect of past developments: the price to rent ratio (the development of the nominal purchase price of a house divided by the annual rent of a similar place with 2015 as a base year) shows that the gap between house prices and rents has continuously widened in recent years. Despite a slight decline in the ratio due to slowing house price growth and accelerating rental growth, in 2023, the cost of buying a home had grown significantly faster relative to the cost of renting. Mortgages in the Netherlands Additionally, the Netherlands has one of the highest mortgage debts among private individuals in Europe. In 2024, total debt exceeded 839 billion euros. This has a political background, as the Dutch tax system allowed homeowners for many years to deduct interest paid on mortgage from pre-tax income for a maximum period of thirty years, essentially allowing for income support for homeowners. In the Netherlands, this system is known as hypotheekrenteaftrek. Note that since 2014, the Dutch government is slowly scaling this down, with a planned acceleration from 2020 onwards.

The average sales price of a home in the Netherlands peaked in August 2022, followed by a decline in the following months. In December 2023, it cost on average over 422,000 euros to buy a home, up from 400,000 euros in the same month the year before. According to a forecast released in October 2023, house prices are expected to continue to decline throughout 2024. Some of the factors influencing the market are the declining transaction activity and the higher interest rates.

In recent years, the housing market has continued to rise in the Netherlands due to low mortgage rates, a recovering economy and a high level of consumer confidence. For example, the number of registered transactions reached a value of approximately 226,000 in 2021 and the average selling price of houses was over 386,000 euros. In 2024, real estate prices are expected to decline.

This table shows the average purchase price that has been paid in the reporting period for existing own homes purchased by a private individual. The average purchase price of existing own homes may differ from the price index of existing own homes. The average purchase price is no indicator for price developments of owner-occupied residential property. The average purchase price reflects the average price of dwellings sold in a particular period. The fact that de dwellings sold differs from one period to another is not taken into account. The following instance explains which problems are entailed by the continually changing of the quality of the dwellings sold. Suppose in February of a particular year mainly big houses with extensive gardens beautifully situated alongside canals are sold, whereas in March many small terraced houses are sold. In that case the average purchase price in February will be higher than in March but this does not mean that house prices are increased. See note 3 for a link to the article 'Why the average purchase price is not an indicator'. Data available from: 1995 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are immediately definitive. The calculation of these figures is based on the number of notary transactions that are registered every month by the Dutch Land Registry Office (Kadaster). A revision of the figures is exceptional and occurs specifically if an error significantly exceeds the acceptable statistical margins. The average purchasing prices of existing owner-occupied sold homes can be calculated by Kadaster at a later date. These figures are usually the same as the publication on Statline, but in some periods they differ. Kadaster calculates the average purchasing prices based on the most recent data. These may have changed since the first publication. Statistics Netherlands uses figures from the first publication in accordance with the revision policy described above. Changes as of 17 February 2025: Added average purchase prices of the municipalities for the year 2024. When will new figures be published? New figures are published approximately one to three months after the period under review.

The average price paid when a Dutch private individual bought existing residential property in 2023 was about 416,000 euros. In recent years, the housing market has continued to grow in the Netherlands due to low mortgage rates, a recovering economy and a high level of consumer confidence. For example, the number of registered transactions nearly doubled between 2011 and 2021, before declining in 2022.

The figures of existing own homes are related to the stock of existing own homes. Besides the price indices, figures are also published about the numbers sold, the average purchase price, and the total sum of the purchase prices of the sold dwellings. The House Price Index of existing own homes is based on a complete registration of sales of dwellings by the Dutch Land Registry Office (Kadaster) and the (WOZ) value of all dwellings in the Netherlands. Indices may fluctuate, for example if a small number of dwellings are sold in a certain region. In such cases we recommended using the long-term figures.

There are large differences in house prices in different cities in the Netherlands but generally, cities situated further away from the "Randstad" (the area in the Netherlands that mainly consists of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht), were less expensive than the ones close to it. In 2022, the average selling price of residential real estate in some of the largest cities in the Netherlands ranged between approximately ******* euros in Amsterdam and ******* euros in Leeuwarden. Overall, Utrecht was the most expensive province to buy a single-family house in 2022, with the average price exceeding the national average by close to ******* euros.

The quarterly pulse monitor expects the Dutch house prices to fall by **** percent in 2023 due to the decline in purchasing power, higher cost of borrowing and worsening economic conditions. The price of Dutch residential property in 2022 was approximately ******* euros. These developments came on top of other issues that were already prevalent in the Dutch housing market, such as the discussion about nitrogen and its effect on housing construction. The effects of nitrogen on the price of a house At the end of 2019, months before the coronavirus, there was already a lot of uncertainty whether their predictions would hold true. This had to do with the so-called “nitrogen decision” (in Dutch: stikstofbesluit) in May 2019. Simply put, a Dutch advisory body found that the domestic policy for nitrogen emission (formally known as Programmatische Aanpak Stikstof or Programmatic Approach Nitrogen) went against European rules. As of August 2019, a sizable share of the Dutch population was not familiar with this nitrogen policy. However, the advisory body’s decision led to an immediate stop to all construction in the country (amongst other things). By the end of 2019, this stop was still in place. For 2020, newly to be constructed houses have to comply to new rules regarding nitrogen emission. This puts new pressure on a housing market that already had to keep with increasing demand. How about the housing market in Amsterdam? In the year 2022, Amsterdam ranked as the most expensive city in the Netherlands to acquire an apartment, with an average price per square meter that was ***** euros more expensive than in Utrecht. Amsterdam was also well above the average rents found in other cities. A house in Amsterdam had a rent of approximately ** euros per square meter in 2023, whereas rents in Rotterdam cost roughly ** euros per square meter. It should be noted, however, that rent changes in the Dutch capital are significantly lower than those found in Rotterdam and especially Utrecht.

Rents for unfurnished housing in the Netherlands reached an all-time high in 2023. In the third quarter of the year, the average square meter rent for residential properties reached 17.77 euros, up from 16.9 euros during the same period in 2022. Note that the numbers shown in this statistic are not from a governmental institution, but concern rental housing being offered on the website of the source in the specific quarters. This implies the numbers only show rents of property on the free market and exclude social housing. No difference was made between the type of rental housing, such as houses, apartments, rooms or studios. Big cities well above the average rent price Cities in the Randstad area (the areas surrounding Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam) have a big influence on the average rental price in the Netherlands. This is especially true for Amsterdam, as the Dutch capital registered an average rent price of roughly 26 euros per square meter in 2023. The Hague and Rotterdam, on the other hand, had rental rates below the national average. Are these rents expensive or not? A historical development of rent price indices suggests that rents in the Netherlands are at their highest level since 1990. This graph, however, does not mention whether it has a correction for inflation or not. It is unclear whether any institution researched the development of “real” rent prices in the Netherlands. Statista can offer two components for a potential comparison: the annual housing rent percentage increase since 1990 as well as the inflation rate of the Netherland since 2008.

The price index for existing own dwellings (in Dutch PBK) aims to reflect the changes in prices of the sold existing own dwellings. The dwelling must be located on Dutch territory and sold to a private person. In addition, figures on the number of transactions, the average selling price, and the total value of the selling prices of the sold homes are also available. The price index figures for existing homes are based on a comprehensive registration of home sales transactions by the Kadaster and the WOZ values of all homes in the Netherlands. Index series can fluctuate. It is advisable to use the long-term trends of the price index figures. The average selling price may show a different trend than the price index for existing homes. The development of the average selling price is not an indicator of the price development of existing homes.

This table shows the changes of the sale prices of existing own homes. Besides the price indices, also the numbers sold, the average purchase price of these dwellings and the total sum of the puchase prices of these dwellings are published. The House Price Index of existing own homes is based on a complete registration of sales of dwellings by the Dutch Land Registry Office (Kadaster) and Value Immovable Property (in Dutch: WOZ) of all dwellings in The Netherlands.
