Research by Woningsmarktcijfers.nl reveals that the average cost of buying a property in Delfzijl stood at €142,300. In De Marne, it’s €155,100, in Pekela €158,700, and in Oldambt €161,200, so reports the Groninger Internet Courant. The top-five cheapest municipalities to buy a property is rounded out by one non-Groninger municipality: Den Helder’s average property price stands at €163,000.
The difference between the cheapest and most dear municipality is huge, in Blaricum (just to the Southeast of Amsterdam) the average price stands at €902,200, making it the most expensive in the country. Following Blaricum is the neighbouring municipality of Laren, at an average of €778,900, then Bloemendaal (on the North Sea coast to the west of Amsterdam) at €774,600 per property. Fourth most expensive is Wassenaar (a suburb of The Hague), at €669,000, whilst fifth most expensive is the municipality of Heemstede – a leafy suburb for both Amsterdam and Haarlem – where you’d have to pay on average €563,700 to own your own home.
