Quarterly figures Q3 2025

The Real Estate Association of Amsterdam (MVA) provides information about the housing market in Amsterdam. In the third quarter of 2025, there are many more homes for sale in the city: the supply is 31% higher than in the third quarter last year. Especially landlords are selling their rental properties. This is partly because the new Affordable Rent Act makes it less attractive to rent. These homes tend to be smaller and less luxurious, reducing the average selling price slightly.

More choice, less overbidding

Buyers now have more choice. In Amsterdam, it takes an average of 35 days to sell a home, which is longer than last quarter. The average selling price fell to €594,000. Per square meter buyers paid an average of €8,439, which is 1% more than last year, but slightly less than the previous quarter. Overbidding is still common: in Oost, 87% of homes are sold above the asking price. In Amsterdam, buyers pay an average of 7% more than the asking price.

Large differences between city districts

More homes came up for sale in all districts of the city. In Southeast, the supply went up by 63%, in New West by 39% and in North by 38%. In South, West, East and Center, the supply also grew, but less rapidly. Centrum and Zuidoost showed strong growth in the number of houses sold (+44%), West, Oost and Weesp as well. Only Noord has fewer transactions than last year.

In South the asking price is highest at €1,115,000; in Southeast the lowest at €377,000. In North and Weesp, prices have actually increased, while in South they dropped significantly. In Southeast, the selling price even increased by 8% compared to last year. In Weesp, on the other hand, the average sales price fell the most by almost 10%.

Amsterdam differs from the rest of the Netherlands

Nationwide, house prices rose 4.8% in the last quarter. In Amsterdam, the average transaction price actually decreased by 3.4%. Nevertheless, Amsterdam is still expensive. The square meter price is €8,439, which is 80% higher than the national average of €4,686. The large number of smaller apartments is causing falling average sales prices, but locally prices per square meter are rising in, for example, Nieuw-West (+7%), Oost (+6%) and Weesp (+4%).

According to Floris van der Peijl, president of MVA: "Because of the leasing out (selling rental properties) there are more, smaller homes for sale and that makes for a quieter market. But Amsterdam remains more expensive and unique compared to the rest of the Netherlands."
