Buying a house in the Netherlands has been a challenge over the past few years. The market is experiencing a severe shortage in affordable housing and many Dutch residents find themselves unable to buy or rent properties. This has led to a rise in the rate of homelessness and has caused many renters to struggle with paying their rent every month.
In 2023, the market saw a drop of 3% in housing prices, with the most significant drops occurring in Amsterdam, the Hague and Utrecht. However in 2024, housing prices have started going up again and it is expected that this trend will continue on in 2025 as well.
