Data as of 7 July 2026
Dutch apartment prices by city (2026)
Understanding what apartments actually cost across the Netherlands means looking past headline averages to the price per square metre — the fairest way to compare a compact studio in Schiedam with a canal-side flat in Amsterdam. Landomo aggregates for-sale listings from more than 600 property portals and removes duplicates, so the figures on this page reflect the live Dutch market rather than a single agency's stock. As of our 7 July 2026 snapshot, the median asking price for apartments for sale ranges from €8,200 per m² in Amsterdam down to €4,122 per m² in Schiedam — a spread that shows just how much location shapes value within a country only 300 kilometres wide. Amsterdam alone accounts for 2,509 active listings, by far the deepest market we track here. Below you will find the median price per m² for each major city, followed by methodology notes and answers to common questions about how these numbers are built.

Market insights by city
Amsterdam tops the Dutch market at €8,200 per m², the highest of any city we publish and nearly double Schiedam. With 2,509 active for-sale apartment listings, it is also by far the deepest and most liquid market on this page.
Rotterdam is the country's second-largest market in both price and volume, with a median of €5,769 per m² across 1,297 active for-sale apartment listings. That places it well below Amsterdam yet clearly above the smaller Randstad cities we track.
Almere posts a median of €5,597 per m², placing this relatively young city just behind Rotterdam among the markets we publish. With 468 active for-sale apartment listings, it offers a mid-tier price point below the capital yet above most cities on this page.
The Hague records a median of €5,086 per m² across 368 active for-sale apartment listings. As the seat of government, it prices below Amsterdam and Rotterdam yet stays comfortably in the upper half of the Dutch cities we publish here.
Arnhem sits near the bottom of our price table at €4,369 per m², just above Schiedam and well below the Randstad leaders. Its 379 active for-sale apartment listings make it one of the more affordable larger markets we track in the east of the country.
Schiedam is the most affordable city we publish, with a median asking price of €4,122 per m² across 384 active for-sale apartment listings. Bordering Rotterdam, it offers the lowest entry point of any larger Dutch market on this page.
How we calculate this
Each figure is the median asking price per square metre across active for-sale apartment listings on Landomo, taken from our 7 July 2026 snapshot. We include only apartments sized between 15 and 500 m², trim outliers to the 5th–95th percentile band before calculating the median, and publish a city only when it has at least 200 active listings. Using the median rather than the mean keeps a handful of ultra-luxury or bargain listings from distorting the result. All prices are in euros.
Frequently asked questions
Which Dutch city has the most expensive apartments per m²?
Amsterdam is the most expensive city in our data, with a median asking price of €8,200 per m² for apartments for sale as of 7 July 2026. That is almost double the cheapest city we list, Schiedam at €4,122 per m², underlining how strongly the capital stands apart from the rest of the Dutch market.
Where are apartments the cheapest per m²?
Of the cities we publish, Schiedam has the lowest median asking price at €4,122 per m². Neighbouring Arnhem follows at €4,369 per m². Both sit well below the national leaders, offering the most affordable entry points among the larger Dutch markets we track on this page for the 7 July 2026 snapshot.
How many apartment listings does Landomo track in the Netherlands?
Listing depth varies widely by city. Amsterdam is by far the largest market with 2,509 active for-sale apartment listings in our 7 July 2026 snapshot, followed by Rotterdam at 1,297. Smaller markets such as Almere (468) and The Hague (368) still clear our 200-listing threshold for publication.
Why do you use median price instead of average?
The median is the middle value, so half of listings sit above it and half below. Unlike the average, it is not pulled upward by a few penthouses or downward by distressed sales. We also trim to the 5th–95th percentile first, which keeps the published figure — for example Amsterdam's €8,200 per m² — representative of a typical apartment.
How current are these Netherlands price figures?
Every number on this page comes from a single snapshot taken on 7 July 2026 of active for-sale apartment listings on Landomo. Because we continuously aggregate more than 600 portals and de-duplicate the results, the snapshot reflects the live market at that moment rather than stale or historical asking prices carried over from earlier periods.
How much more expensive is Amsterdam than Rotterdam?
Amsterdam's median of €8,200 per m² is roughly €2,431 per m² higher than Rotterdam's €5,769 per m² — about 42% more expensive. The two dominate our Dutch listing counts, together representing 3,806 of the active for-sale apartments in the 7 July 2026 snapshot, so the gap reflects two genuinely deep markets rather than thin data.
