Dutch holiday and housing market trends

Overview

The Dutch holiday and housing markets are experiencing various shifts. In the travel sector, European destinations remain the primary choice for last-minute Dutch travelers, with notable growth in bookings for Croatia and Norway.

Simultaneously, the holiday home market has seen a surge in sales, with a record number of recreational properties listed for sale in 2025. This increase in turnover is attributed to reduced profitability caused by higher taxes, increased rental costs, and stricter regulatory rules.

Within the broader housing market, there is an increasing emphasis on technical maintenance to improve living comfort and property value. Homeowners are focusing on glass replacement, such as installing modern insulating glass to reduce noise and heat loss, and regular roof inspections to prevent structural issues.

Renovation trends show that upgrading "fixer-uppers" can significantly increase a home's value, with some estimates suggesting an average rise of €178,000. In contrast, the luxury property segment—specifically homes exceeding €5 million—is characterized by different dynamics, including lower scarcity and longer availability compared to the high-demand mid-market.
