In May 2018, house prices reached an all-time high. This is according to the price index of owner-occupied houses (excluding new constructions), a joint publication by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the Land Registry Office (Kadaster).

In August 2008, house prices reached a record high. Subsequently, they fell to a low in June 2013. Since then, the trend has been upward. In May 2018, house prices for the first time were higher (0.6 percent) than the record level of August 2008. The price index of owner-occupied houses therefore reached the highest level since the start of the index in 1995. Compared to the dip in June 2013, house prices are on average more than 28 percent higher.
