March 2025 presents a dynamic landscape for Amsterdam’s real estate market, shaped by various factors that create both opportunities and challenges for buyers, sellers, and investors.
Market Trends 📈
📌 In Q3 2024, average home prices in Amsterdam increased by 10.08% compared to the same quarter in 2023, reversing the 5.7% decline from Q3 2023. 📌 Despite this, the average WOZ property value dropped from €512,269 in 2023 to €491,204 in 2024, indicating a possible market adjustment.
Impact of Interest Rates 💰
🏦 The European Central Bank maintained higher interest rates in 2024, reducing buyers’ borrowing power and potentially slowing down demand.🏠 This could either moderate price increases or even lead to price declines.
Tax Policy & Foreign Investments 🌍
🚫 As of January 1, 2025, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) can no longer invest directly in Dutch real estate.🇳🇱 This makes the Netherlands one of the few European countries without a favorable tax regime for real estate investments, potentially discouraging foreign investors.
