The average woningprijs in the big cities increases thereby relatively hard, turns out Thursday from details of venue NVM.
“Especially in the centres of the major (students)cities you need a lot of money on the table for relatively little house. Buyers, I would therefore like to recommend to get around this overheated centers suitable living space to search,” says NVM chairman Ger Jaarsma. He calls in addition to governments and transport companies to ensure good connections between city centres and the surrounding municipalities.
Starters
“There are too few homes being offered for sale in order to meet demand,” says Jaarsma. “That makes it for starters even more difficult to be a suitable home to buy. Especially with the current strict funding rules.”
In the region around Amsterdam is now already the cheap offer away, leaving starters in there “as well as excluded”. A few months ago warned the NVM for the less accessible of the housing market.
Housing
The venue has, in 2016, a record number of housing registered. “Never before have our agents in a year’s time, almost a stack of 165,000 homes by owner help exchange. That is well over double the years 2011-2013.” It comes to an increase of 15 percent.
The growth was especially in regions outside the Randstad such as Gelderland (31 percent), Netherlands (29 percent), Overijssel (28 percent) and Drenthe (26 percent). “The are signs that the housing market in those provinces performing better after the great depression. Many regions in the Netherlands are still catching up.” In Amsterdam, the number of transactions by nearly 17 percent, because there are too few homes to buy be taken in order to meet demand. This also plays in regions such as Central and South-Kennemerland, Haarlemmermeer and Utrecht.
Fourth quarter
In the fourth quarter of 2016 are 15 percent more homes sold by NVM brokers than a year earlier. It went to 45.792 transactions of existing homes, against 39.749 in the fourth quarter of 2015. In the total market in the last quarter, an estimated 59.500 houses sold. NVM speaks of “an excellent quarter”.
The average selling price was in the fourth quarter at 248.000 euro. That is 8.9% higher than a year earlier and 3 percent higher than in the previous quarter. Thus the dwellings are, on average, almost a fifth more expensive than at the low point in 2013. Compared with the peak of the crisis is the price still 2 percent lower. The regions of Amsterdam and Utrecht are good for a quarter of the national price increase.
Offer
Homes are now on average 78 days to purchase. That is 23 days shorter than a year ago. And the offer of houses on sale is shrinking ever faster.
Halfway through the fourth quarter had the NVM-brokers more than 92.500 homes (approximately 120,000 in the whole market in offer. That there are 28 percent fewer than a year earlier and more than 8 percent less than in the third quarter of 2016. A potential buyer could in the fourth quarter, only six homes to choose from. A quarter previously was a buyer for an average of almost seven homes to choose from.
Additionally, the difference between the asking price and the selling price is smaller. With one in six houses is the house even sold for a higher price. In popular areas, this applies even for more than half of the sold houses.
Regional differences
Jaarsma emphasized that the regional differences are still large. He speaks of a tripartite division on the housing market. That consists of balanced regions, a growing number of regions with a strong verkopersmarkt and some with still a buyers market.
2017
NVM chairman Ger Jaarsma think, however, that this year the large growth in the number of transactions, it is. “We will continue to experience growth of over 5 percent, but it will not be as spectacular as the last couple of years.”
The housing prices will, especially in the sought-after regions, relatively harder to rise, think Jaarsma. “The danger is that we’re back in the same trap steps as before the crisis. The trees grow not up in the sky,” he warns.
