The Dutch housing market is showing several developments in autumn 2026. More homes are available for sale than a year ago, while house prices are rising at a slower pace. What do these developments mean for homeowners considering selling their property in Eindhoven or Helmond?

How Much Has the Housing Supply Increased?

According to the NVM, the number of homes available for sale increased significantly in the third quarter of 2026. At the end of the quarter, 39,001 properties were listed for sale through affiliated estate agents. This represents an increase of 23.8 percent compared with a year earlier.

The larger supply gives buyers more choice and allows them to compare properties more easily.

Are Homes Still Selling Quickly?

In the third quarter of 2026, the average time it took to sell an existing home in the Netherlands was 31 days, according to the NVM. During the same period, affiliated estate agents sold 41,732 properties, an increase of 0.6 percent compared with a year earlier.

The actual time it takes to sell a property can vary depending on factors such as location, property type and asking price.

How Are House Prices Developing in Eindhoven and Helmond?

According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the Dutch Land Registry (Kadaster), the price index for existing homes in Eindhoven fell by 0.8 percent in the third quarter of 2026 compared with a year earlier. In Helmond, the index increased by 2.7 percent, while the national increase was 3.4 percent.

These differences show that national housing market trends do not always reflect local conditions. For homeowners, it is therefore important to consider recent sales of comparable properties in their area.

Are House Prices Still Rising Nationwide?

According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the Dutch Land Registry (Kadaster), existing homes were 2.9 percent more expensive in September 2026 than in September 2025. In August, the annual price increase was still 3.3 percent. A year earlier, in September 2025, the annual increase was 7.0 percent.

Compared with August 2026, house prices fell by 0.4 percent in September. Although homes remain more expensive than a year earlier, the pace of price growth is slowing.

How Many Homes Were Sold in September?

According to the Dutch Land Registry (Kadaster), a total of 20,383 existing homes were sold in September 2026, a decrease of 7.1 percent compared with a year earlier. However, over the first nine months of 2026, the total number of home sales was almost 3 percent higher than during the same period in 2025.

What Do These Developments Mean for Home Sellers?
