Existing own homes; purchase prices, price indices 2015=100 1995-2023

This table shows the price development of existing own homes. Aside from the price indices, Statistics Netherlands also publishes figures on the number of sold dwellings, the average purchase price, and the total sum of the purchase prices of the sold dwellings. The House Price Index of existing own homes is based on a complete registration of sales of dwellings by the Dutch Land Registry Office (Kadaster) and the (WOZ) value of all dwellings in the Netherlands. Indices can fluctuate, for example when a limited number of dwellings of a certain type is sold. In such cases we recommend using the long-term figures.
The average purchase price of existing own homes may differ from the price index of existing own homes. The change in the average purchase price, however, is not an indicator for price developments of existing own homes.

Data available from: January 1995 till December 2023

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are immediately definitive. The calculation of these figures is based on the number of notary transactions that are registered every month by the Dutch Land Registry Office (Kadaster). A revision of the figures is exceptional and occurs specifically if an error significantly exceeds the acceptable statistical margins. The numbers of existing owner-occupied sold homes can be recalculated by Kadaster at a later date. These figures are usually the same as the publication on Statline, but in some periods they differ. Kadaster calculates the average purchasing prices based on the most recent data. These may have changed since the first publication. Statistics Netherlands uses figures from the first publication in accordance with the revision policy described above.

From reporting month January 2024, the base year of the House Price Index for Existing Dwellings (PBK) will be adjusted from 2015 to 2020. In February 2024, the first figures of this new series will be released. These figures will be available in a new StatLine table. The old series (base year = 2015) can still be consulted via StatLine, but will no longer be updated

Changes as of 11 March 2024:
This table has been discontinued. This table is followed by Existing own homes; purchase prices, price indices 2020=100. See paragraph 3.
