Dutch house prices continue to rise sharply, despite the corona crisis. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), buying a home was almost 9 percent more expensive in November than at the same time last year. In October, house prices reached their highest point in nearly two years.

The average sales price for a house last month was 344,217 euros. This was only slightly lower than the amount in October when the average price was just a little over 350,000 euros. A total of 18,449 housing transactions were registered, one percent more than the previous year.
