Home prices for existing owner-occupied properties across the Netherlands climbed an average of 10.9% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, according to Statistics Netherlands (CBS). After peaking in July 2022 and experiencing a temporary downturn, the market has been on a steady upswing since June 2023. This rebound is now visible in nearly every municipality, with only two exceptions.
The latest CBS data shows that the upward trend in home prices has intensified in early 2025:
Larger municipalities, which had felt the peak-and-fall cycle more sharply, are now registering robust gains. Smaller municipalities, by contrast, saw limited declines and are now recording similar increases—marking a truly national recovery in residential property values.
While almost all regions enjoyed rising prices, the scale of growth varied. CBS data highlights the top performers and the rare municipalities where prices dipped year on year.
| Municipality | Q1 2025 Price Change | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Bunnik | +19.8% | Highest increase |
| Waddinxveen | +18.7% | Rapid suburban gain |
| Gouda | +18.0% | Historic city draw |
| Texel | –1.4% | Only island decline |
| Vught | –0.1% | Slight downturn |
In April 2025, prices were still 10.2% higher than April 2024, with the average existing home costing €472,054. Overall, current prices stand about 11% above the July 2022 peak, underscoring just how strong the rebound has been.
Several key factors underpin this surge in home prices:
Strong Demand vs. Tight Supply
The imbalance between the number of prospective buyers and available homes remains stark. New construction is not keeping pace with household formation, pushing buyers to compete for every listing.
Lower Mortgage Interest Rates
After rising through 2022, mortgage rates have eased in late 2023 and early 2025. More favorable borrowing costs have empowered buyers to stretch their budgets and bid more aggressively.
Rising Incomes
Wage growth and employment levels in the Netherlands have improved, giving households greater purchasing power and comfort taking on higher mortgage commitments.
Taken together, these dynamics have created a feedback loop: competitive bidding drives prices higher, which in turn encourages sellers to list at elevated levels.
Industry analysts believe the market will remain firm throughout 2025. Key considerations include:
For home seekers in the Netherlands, it’s vital to adopt a strategic approach:
• Get pre-approved for a mortgage: Know your budget and signal to sellers that you’re a serious buyer.
• Monitor local trends: Municipal markets vary, so research your target area’s recent price movements and inventory levels.
• Work with experienced professionals: Local real estate agents and mortgage brokers can help you identify opportunities and structure competitive offers.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or relocating, understanding the dynamics of the current market will position you for a successful purchase.
