Table explanation
This table shows the changes of the sale prices of existing own homes.
Besides the price indices, also the numbers sold, the average purchase
price of these dwellings and the total sum of the puchase prices of these
dwellings are published.
The House Price Index of existing own homes is based on a complete
registration of sales of dwellings by the Dutch Land Registry Office
(Kadaster) and Value Immovable Property (in Dutch: WOZ) of all dwellings
in The Netherlands.
Indices can fluctuate, for example when the number of dwellings sold of a
certain type of dwelling in a region is limited. In that case it is
recommended to use the long term change of the index.
The average purchase price of existing own homes may differ from the price
index of existing own homes. The change in the average purchase price is,
however, not an indicator for price developments of existing own homes.
For more information on this subject, see the article at chapter 3 "Why
the average purchase price is not an indicator".
Data available from: January 1995
