Dutch Housing Market Quarterly Dutch version
As expected, the housing market is picking up slowly but surely. Some indicators are pointing to recovery, but it is still fragile. We expect an increase in sales in the fourth quarter of 2013, and stabilisation of prices in the course of 2014.

Several signs indicate a possible market recovery. E.g. the affordability of housing and consumer confidence improved due to lower prices since 2008. However, economic upturn is essential for a substantial recovery of the housing market.
Dutch Housing Market Quarterly
The bottom of the Dutch owner-occupied housing market is in sight. The fall in house sales has virtually come to a halt and price declines have also slowed. We expect this development to continue and that house prices may stabilise as well in 2014.

De bodem van de Nederlandse koopwoningmarkt is in zicht. De daling van de woningverkopen is vrijwel tot stilstand gekomen en ook het tempo van de prijsdalingen is afgezwakt. Mogelijk stabiliseren de woningprijzen in 2014.
Dutch Housing Market Quarterly Dutch version
The second-hand housing market recorded a good fourth quarter in 2012. Prices stabilised and house sales rose considerably. The main reason was that buyers had a strong incentive to sign a provisional sale agreement before 1 January 2013.
