In June 2018, house prices continued to rise and reached again an all-time high. Compared to June 2017, prices were on average 8.9 percent higher. This is according to the price index of owner-occupied houses (excluding new constructions), a joint publication by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the Land Registry Office (Kadaster).

In August 2008, house prices reached a record high. Subsequently, they fell to a low in June 2013. Since then, the trend has been upward. In May 2018, house prices for the first time were higher than the record level of August 2008. In June 2018, house prices continued to rise and the price index of owner-occupied houses therefore reached again the highest level since the start of the index in 1995. Compared to the dip in June 2013, house prices were on average 29 percent higher.
