Dutch Housing Market Quarterly Dutch version
In 2018, prices of owner-occupied homes in the Netherlands rose on average 9%, which translates to roughly 25,000 euros for an average house. For 2019 we expect homes to become even more expensive, however we expect sales to decline further.
Economic Update Dutch version
While unemployment in the Netherlands briefly dropped to a new record low, collectively negotiated wages rose only slowly in 2018. Furthermore a decrease in demand from abroad also dampened Dutch exports in the final months of the year.
Economic Quarterly Report Dutch version
The Dutch economy is approaching its limits due to a tight labour market, while imported uncertainty is hindering business investment. This may be the last chance for policymakers to fix the roof while the sun is shining.
Dutch Housing Market Quarterly Dutch version
In the third quarter the number of sales declined yet again on the Dutch housing market, but prices rose with no less than 9.2 percent. In other countries though, including the UK, prices for owner-occupied homes are declining again. An omen for the Dutch market?
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy keeps expanding, with especially remarkable growth in the number of jobs. Surprisingly though, consumers are becoming slightly less optimistic.
Economic Quarterly Report Dutch version
We are expecting that the Netherlands will be able to keep up with last year’s pace and forecast a 2.9% GDP growth. Starting in 2019 we expect growth to moderately slow down to 2.3% for next year.
Dutch Housing Market Quarterly Dutch version
Just like in the first quarter fewer homes were sold between April and June 2018. Yet, house prices have increased rapidly in the same period. Decreasing affordability and accessibility of the owner-occupied market severely undermine buyer confidence on the housing market.
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy keeps expanding, but housing investments are expected to stagnate while optimism about future activity has taken a hit among industrial producers.
