Dutch Housing Market Quarterly Dutch version
While we still expect house prices to increase substantially this year, sales activities seem to reached a turning point on the Dutch housing market. Hampered by an increasing scarcity of homes in almost all regions, we have adjusted our 2018 sales forecast from 250,000 to 235,000 homes, a decline of 3% compared to 2017.
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy is off to a good start of the year, with more paid jobs than in December. Meanwhile prices of owner-occupied homes are rising faster than in previous months.
