The ten cheapest municipalities

With their place in the national ranking. A low average often also means smaller or older homes, not only a lower price for the same house.

All municipalities

Every municipality has its own page with the average sale price per year since 1995, the comparison with the province and the country, and its place in the ranking.

342 municipalities according to the 2025 municipal division, which did not change on 1 January 2026.

How to read these figures

The CBS, the Dutch national statistics office, counts every existing home sold to a private buyer in a year and registered with the Kadaster, the land registry, and divides the total price by the number. New-build homes are not included. A year's figure is final as soon as it appears; a new year is usually added in February.

An average is not the price of a house. If more apartments are sold in a municipality in a year than the year before, the average falls, even if every single home became more expensive. The CBS itself says the average sale price is not a measure of price development; for that there is the price index of existing homes. What you will pay for one particular house depends on the street, the type, the size and the condition, and that can be far from the average.

The WOZ value is something else: a valuation by the municipality for tax purposes, as of 1 January of the previous year. And how much buyers bid above the asking price is nowhere in these figures; what is public about that is in overbidding in the Netherlands: the figures per quarter and province. Source of every price on this page: CBS StatLine, table 83625NED.

An average tells you roughly what a house costs when it comes up for sale. It does not tell you how little comes up for sale in the street where you want to live. For that there is the letter to the owner; read how to buy an off-market house in the Netherlands.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a house in the Netherlands cost on average?

An existing home sold in 2025 for €480,000 on average, according to the CBS. That is the average of every sale to a private buyer, from an apartment to a detached house; per municipality it varies widely.

What is the most expensive municipality in the Netherlands?

Blaricum, with an average sale price of €1,106,000 in 2025. It is followed by Bloemendaal, Laren, Wassenaar.

Where is a house cheapest?

In Kerkrade, with an average of €270,000 in 2025. A low average also says something about what is sold: more small or older homes give a lower average.

How often are these figures updated?

The CBS usually adds a new year in February, and the figure is final at once. These pages fetch the figures daily, so a new year appears within a day.

Why is my neighbourhood or street not listed?

The CBS publishes average sale prices down to the level of the municipality. For a neighbourhood the average WOZ value, the municipal valuation, is the best public figure; it is on DoorLetter's neighbourhood pages.

Can a foreigner buy a house in the Netherlands?

Yes, without restrictions. What limits you is the mortgage: a Dutch bank lends at most the valuation, and the buyer's costs come from savings. How buying works for newcomers is in the guide for expats on this site.
