Residential property investments forecast change in the Netherlands 2019-2022

This statistic shows the forecast of the percentage change on the previous year of residential property investments in the Netherlands from 2019 to 2022. The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) estimated that investments in housing would decrease in 2021 with approximately seven percent compared to the year before. Real estate investments in Europe usually focus on the office real estate market and the housing, or residential real estate, market. With artificially low interest rates due to the European Central Bank's (ECB) monetary policy, buying stocks is deemed too risky and bonds have become relatively expensive. Within this environment of low interest rates and high risks, investors look into real estate for safety and yield.
