Average residential property selling price in the Netherlands 1995-2019

The average price paid when a Dutch private individual bought existing residential property in 2019 was about 308,000 euros. 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 215,000 in 2016 and the average selling price of houses was higher than in 2013, when prices reached a low point. In 2018, real estate transactions are expected to decrease with six percent as a high number of sales, combined with an increasingly scarce supply, are expected to push the housing price up.
