Fewer homes bought and sold in June

According to The Netherlands’ Cadastre, the total number of dwellings bought and sold recorded during the month of June stood at 14,662. That was an decrease of almost 12 percent relative to one year previously. In the first six months of this year, a total of 92,383 dwellings changed ownership; an increase of almost 9 percent year on year.

In June, the average transaction price for an owner-occupied dwelling was 441,112 euros. However, it is not the transaction price but the price index that is used to determine price changes for existing owner-occupied dwellings. Unlike the price index, the average transaction price does not take into account differences in the quality of homes.
