Netherlands: market size of real estate investments

The estimated market size of real estate investments in the Netherlands increased from 2013 to 2021. The source specifically states that the estimate tries to cover property owned for the primary purpose of benefitting from investment returns, as opposed to owner-occupied and non-investment leased real estate (like social housing). With this in mind, the market size of real estate investments in the Netherlands reached a value of roughly 218 billion U.S. dollars in 2021.

• They are professionally managed for the achievement of these purposes, either by the beneficial owners or by third party management businesses.
