This statistic shows the leading mortgage providers for first-time buyers (in Dutch: starters) in the Netherlands from the first quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2019, by market share. In the third quarter of 2019, insurers had a mortgage turnover market share of roughly 15 percent. In recent years, the housing market has continued to rise in the Netherlands due the asset purchase programme (APP) of the European Central Bank and the, consequently, low mortgage rates. For example, the number of registered transactions reached a value of approximately 241,000 in 2017. The value of mortgages in 2019 is forecasted to increase with approximately 4.5 percent whilst the total mortgage debt from households in the Netherlands reached approximately 672 billion euros in 2017.
