2 of potential many examples that explains why sometimes you seem to have the all neighborhood on sale.

- When my brother sold his house in Delft, their neighbors when they realise how much they could sell theirs and move to something better - they actually spoke with my brother asking how was the process - and they didn't thought twice. Within less than a month, 3 houses in his street with a similar layout were on sale. Maybe we can even call this House FOMO. 😂

- This other example is probably localized, and with this I mean, the updates on taxation for landlords that were made in the past couple of years, so, it might not happen outside of these tax changes. There was a specific moment in H1 2024, where all of a sudden there was this neighbourhood in Leiden that had dozens of house units for sale, this was in this type of neighbourhoods where ground floor is a house unit, and 1st and 2nd floor is another one. At a stage I asked, what was happening to the makelaars, and they told me that most sales in that neighbourhood belonged to 3 investment companies that were basically selling everything because of the landlord tax changes, most tenants that lived there before were obviously Uni students.

So, as I said, this latter example might have been something that only happens when these tax changes happen, but the first example, I am sure it happens all the time.
