The data displays the forecast of the percentage change on the previous year of the transaction volume of residential property in the Netherlands from 2017 to 2019. In 2018, real estate transactions are expected to decrease with approx. 5%. 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. For example, the number of registered transactions reached a value of approx. 215,000 in 2016 and the average selling price of houses was higher than in 2013, when prices reached a low point.
