As we are visiting family in Apeldoorn, in Holland and having a wonderful time I thought I would post some information on property values.
On our way to the market we saw this new home:
This is a new home, 4 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms, priced at 600,000 Euros approximately $900,000, this price includes the kitchen and bathroom which usually are not included in new construction, you pay extra for them to be finished, note there is no garage, and the lot is pretty small. However, this particular house has a lot premium as the view across the street is through some trees of a local park.
If you cycle along the street visible on the photo above to the park you can find this house for sale:
This house is priced at 965,000 Euros which is about $1.5 million with taxes. Here are some other photos, of the view and the house.
This is the view across the street, pretty good.
You can see full details on this house on the realtors website, this house had 4 bedrooms and a mixture of bathrooms, one bathroom without toilet, a powder room upstairs, a full bathroom, and another powder room downstairs. No real basements here because of the water level, although this house has a cellar. Most of Holland is barely above sea level. South facing yard and a balcony as well, granite counters in the kitchen and new bathrooms. House was built in the 1930's.
So the Dutch real estate market like ours is also depressed, but location will bring a price. This house also is not on a large lot compared to America but the location in Apeldoorn on the park is very desirable. It has also been recently updated.
