Supply and mix

Wageningen Rent Prices: A Small Town, An International Intake

Wageningen is small, but its university draws students and researchers from around the world into the Food Valley region, and the rental market is dominated by that arrival cycle. Rooms and studios take up much of what is advertised, which drags a median asking rent downwards without making larger homes any cheaper. The cost per square metre and the bedroom composition correct for that, and the three-, six- and twelve-month windows show how sharply supply swings around the academic year.

Direction of travel

Wageningen rent price trend over 3, 6 and 12 months

Each window holds the median advertised rent for that period next to the equally long period before it. Reading all three together separates a short-term swing from a longer drift, which one window on its own can never do.

Last 3 monthsvs previous 3 months
€570+4.4%previously €546
Last 6 monthsvs previous 6 months
€560+0.7%previously €556
Last 12 monthsvs previous 12 months
€558+14.1%previously €489

Windows overlap by design: the twelve-month figure includes the three-month one, so a fast recent move shows up sharply in the short window and softly in the long one. A shift also reflects what is being advertised, not only what landlords charge — a period with more rooms or more furnished stock moves the median without any individual rent changing.

What reaches the market

Rental supply and how fast homes go in Wageningen

How much reaches the Wageningen market and how long a typical listing stays up, each with the city's rank among covered cities.

Newly advertised, 30 days

68#15 of 75How many rental homes were newly advertised in each city over the last thirty days. Supply volume decides how often a search returns something new, and in smaller markets it matters considerably more than where the asking rent happens to sit.

Median days on the market

11 days#18 of 75The middle number of days between a listing being advertised and being taken down, across the last twelve months. Short durations describe a market where renters have to decide quickly; longer ones leave room to view several homes before applying.

Composition

What is for rent in Wageningen: apartments, rooms, studios and furnishing

Two cities can share an asking rent and offer completely different things for it. This is the breakdown that explains the difference for Wageningen, across the last twelve months of represented listings.

Bedrooms advertised

How the city's advertised supply splits by bedroom count. A market weighted towards studios and one-bedroom homes will always report a lower headline rent than one built around family housing, without being any cheaper per square metre.

1 bedroom: 92%
2 bedrooms: 4%
3 bedrooms: 1%
4 or more bedrooms: 3%

Property types advertised

The share of apartments, houses, rooms and studios in what landlords and agents advertise. Room-heavy cities are usually student markets, and their medians should never be read as the cost of renting a whole home.

Apartment: 3%
House: 1%
Room: 87%
Studio: 8%

Furnishing on offer

Furnished, upholstered and shell listings ask very different rents for the same floor area. In cities with a large international or relocation segment this split explains more of the headline figure than location does.

Furnished: 49%
Upholstered: 5%
Shell: 46%
