According to a forecast released in October 2023, house prices are expected to continue to decline throughout 2024. Some of the factors influencing the market are the declining transaction activity and the higher interest rates.
In recent years, the housing market has continued to rise in the Netherlands due to low mortgage rates, a recovering economy and a high level of consumer confidence.
