VISION FOR THE HOUSING MARKET

There are 8.2 million homes on the Dutch housing market. The supply has been lagging behind the demand for years. Currently, there is a shortage of 400,000 homes. A whopping 5% of the current stock. And this number is increasing. The Netherlands will have 8.4 million households in 2024. With an additional one million households expected by 2050. VanWonen is working hard to accommodate this growth nationwide.

The Dutch housing market is one of the most transparent markets in Europe. Mature and liquid. With the best opportunities for investors. Returns on rental and owner-occupied properties are attractive in the Netherlands. At the same time, the investment risk is low. The chronic shortage of housing creates a prime investment climate. Especially in the affordable segment. The combination of a stable and reliable regulatory framework and the growing Dutch economy offers excellent opportunities for investors.

Supply and demand in balance

Scarcity in the housing market drives up prices. By 6.6% annually over the last decade, with inflation averaging 2.5%. In addition to the large regulated rental sector and a small private rental sector, there is a high demand for owner-occupied homes. Over 60% of people looking for homes want to buy a home. An investment in VanWonen’s new construction projects brings better balance between supply and demand in the Dutch housing market.
