City breakdown
Context
Dutch cities have not built enough housing to meet growing demand. Permitting delays, land scarcity, and construction costs have kept new supply well below what population growth requires.
The Netherlands is one of Europe's most attractive countries for expats, with a high standard of living, strong job market, and English widely spoken. This drives consistent international demand in major cities.
Cities like Groningen, Utrecht, and Eindhoven experience intense demand spikes in the summer as students seek housing before the academic year. This seasonal pressure compounds an already tight market.
Recent rent regulation changes have caused some landlords to sell properties rather than rent them. This has reduced the available stock in the private rental market in several major cities.
