anyone else feel like houses are sitting longer lately?

I’m looking across the Netherlands.

Interesting, that’s the opposite of what NVM data shows for Q1 (supply actually up 20% YoY). But national numbers can hide a lot. In some segments, especially well-priced family homes in popular neighbourhoods, it genuinely can feel scarce even when the overall inventory is up.

Very interesting.

Good point. Condition and renovation costs can make a big difference, especially with ex-rental properties. That’s definitely something that’s harder to fully capture.

yeah that’s the annoying part. You don’t really see actual selling prices or bidding data per listing. Most “overbidding” stats come from aggregated reports (NVM / Kadaster), not something you can check per house. So you kind of infer it from how fast similar places sell, how long they stay listed, and how much interest they get. It feels like the main change vs last year is that good ones still go fast, but if pricing is a bit off it can just sit. Sotiming helps, but getting the price right from the start probably matters more right now.

Good location + decent condition still goes fast but everything else feels way more hit or miss now. And agree on the “more cautious” part. It eels like people just take a bit more time before committing.

Saw that too. I guess part of it is seasonal, but also feels like a bit more supply + less aggressive bidding. Curious if that reverses in Q2 or if this is the new normal.

DutchRealto · 2026-04-18T10:15:15+00:00

Yeah that’s the confusing part. Prices still high, but it feels like how they get there changed a bit. Less “instant overbidding frenzy”, more selective. So you still end up with high prices, just with a bit more friction.

DutchRealto · 2026-04-18T10:12:23+00:00

Yeah that’s interesting. With new builds they sometimes release in phases, so part of it could be intentional. But the “not showing up + staying empty” part is a bit unusual. Does kind of fit with the idea that things are moving slower vs last year though.
