Total number of houses sold in the Netherlands 1995-2023
The number of houses sold in the Netherlands more than doubled between 2013 and 2021, followed by a decline in 2022 and 2023. The number of houses sold is the number of registered transactions from a house sold by a private individual. In 2023, over 182,000 houses were sold by private individuals, down from 193,000 in the previous year. For a long period house prices in the Netherlands increased due to a recovering economy, high level of consumer confidence, and declining interest rates. However, economic uncertainty and higher interest rates caused the market to cool in 2022.
