Ben je op zoek naar een uiterst effectieve manier om je droomhuis te kopen? Ons aankoopteam bij Walter Living laat je zien hoe je slim en met zelfvertrouwen een huis koopt.
If you’ve been following the Dutch housing market, you’ve likely heard the news: the average selling price of a home in 2024 hit €450,985, up 8.4% from 2023.
But let’s be real—these big numbers don’t always feel personal, especially if you want to buy a house in Amsterdam or Utrecht, where prices often are above average. Still, they reveal some valuable trends that can help you make sense of the market.
Not all homes are the same. The type of home you’re looking for makes a big difference. Here’s how average prices stack up for 2024:
Apartments are the most affordable option, with an average price of €380,110. However, their growth rate of 7.3% is the slowest among property types. This could reflect stabilizing demand in cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht, where apartment prices are already high.
If you’re set on city living, apartments are often the go-to, but prices in these areas can easily exceed the national average.
If you’re open to moving just outside the city, consider terraced houses, which saw the biggest price growth at 11.1%. With an average price of €435,470, they offer more space and privacy, making them a top choice for families or anyone ready to upgrade from apartment living.
Detached houses remain the most expensive option, averaging €650,139, but their growth rate of 7.4% is slowing. This might indicate affordability challenges or less demand for larger properties in urban areas.
While average prices won’t predict exactly what you’ll pay, they offer valuable context. Apartments remain popular but are stabilizing, while terraced houses are seeing a surge in demand. Detached homes are appealing but often out of reach for many buyers in city markets.
At Walter Living, we know navigating the Dutch housing market as an international buyer can feel daunting. That’s why we go beyond big numbers, offering personalized insights to help you understand what these trends mean for your search.
