Dutch Home Sales Jump in Q3, With Groningen Prices Up and Amsterdam Dipping on Former Rental Sales

NVM urges the new government to speed building to close an estimated 400,000‑home shortfall.

Overview

  • NVM reports national transactions up 19% year over year in Q3, with homes selling in a median 29 days and 81% of new listings finding buyers within three months.
  • Groningen recorded 1,457 sales, nearly 13% higher than a year earlier, and posted close to 10% annual price growth, outpacing the 5% national rise but trailing the national sales gain.
  • Housing supply in Groningen rose by more than 20% from a year earlier, accelerating from an 11% increase in Q2, yet conditions remain tight.
  • Overbidding occurred in 80% of Groningen sales last quarter, with Oldambt the lowest in the province at 56%, indicating persistent buyer competition.
  • Amsterdam’s average sale price slipped 0.3% as many former rental and smaller, lower‑quality units entered the sales mix, pulling the average down.
