Dutch Home Prices Surge, Supply Crunch Worsens

Dutch Home Prices Surge, Supply Crunch Persists: ABN Amros Outlook
The Netherlands saw a significant 7.8% increase in existing home prices in Q3 2025, reaching an average of €487,000. New homes also experienced a 7.4% year-on-year rise, averaging €523,000. Despite a slight dip in newly built home sales, overall Dutch prices outpaced the EU average. Tight supply and stronger household incomes are driving up prices, with modest economic growth and easing inflation providing more spending power. However, new home construction is trending downward since 2023, with projects facing delays of up to 12 years. Mortgage rates may increase by year-end due to rising government bond yields across the eurozone. ABN Amro predicts a 3% growth in home prices next year and 4% in 2027, maintaining a steady but gentler market trajectory. Checkout Solipillow.com
