The housing market feels different now
Many homeowners notice it right away. The market no longer moves as fast as it did a few years ago.
Homes still sell well, but the pace has changed.
Viewings take a little longer, offers are made with more consideration, and buyers take their time to be sure a home truly fits them.
It creates a different atmosphere. Less tension, more calm.
And that calm is doing the market good.
From speed to attention
Where selling once focused on acting quickly, the focus has shifted to quality.
A home sells well when every element aligns.
The price, the presentation and the preparation together determine the outcome.
Those who invest time and attention notice that the process runs more smoothly.
For anyone selling a house in the netherlands 2025, this shift is clear.
It is no longer about selling as fast as possible, but about selling well.
The tone of the market
The Dutch housing market in 2025 is more stable than in previous years.
The pressure has eased, yet interest remains strong.
This creates room for realistic prices and fair expectations.
As selling agents, we clearly see this in practice.
Homes that are well presented and tell a consistent story still attract the right buyers — only now with more calm and balance.
A mature balance
Buyers have become more critical, but also more genuinely interested.
They want to know what they are buying, which calls for transparency.
For sellers, that means being clear.
A complete file, honest information and careful communication bring calm to the process.
That is what the current market requires.
Those selling a house in the netherlands 2025 benefit most from that transparency,
because trust and timing now play a greater role than ever.
In conclusion
Selling a house in the netherlands 2025 feels different than before.
There is more space for preparation, attention and clarity.
Those who present their home with care and realistic expectations sell with confidence.
A home does not sell through haste, but through attention.
What the figures show
According to the Dutch Association of Real Estate Agents (NVM), around 42,000 homes were sold in the second quarter of 2025 — nearly fifteen percent more than a year earlier.
The average selling price is approximately €495,000, an increase of about six percent compared to 2024.
Homes now stay on the market for six to eight weeks on average, whereas in 2022 it was barely three.
These figures show that the market has matured.
There is less haste, more realism and space for careful decision-making.
For sellers, this means a more stable process and a fairer valuation of their property.
Creating homes with meaning
