Amsterdam house prices: what does a home cost in each district?

House prices in Amsterdam by district

The table below shows the median sale price in Amsterdam’s seven districts, ranked by price per square metre. The median is the middle sale price when all transactions are arranged from lowest to highest. It is less affected by unusually high or low prices than the arithmetic mean.

 

District	Median sale price*	Median price per m²	Time to sell
Centrum	€696,000	€9,577	42 days
West	€564,000	€9,453	33 days
Zuid	€674,000	€9,344	35 days
Oost	€665,000	€8,580	35 days
Noord	€519,000	€6,975	39 days
Nieuw-West	€533,000	€6,339	39 days
Zuidoost	€370,000	€4,777	49 days

* Sale prices are rounded to the nearest thousand euros. The figures cover existing homes sold through NVM estate agents. Weesp is excluded from the district comparison and included in the figures for the municipality of Amsterdam quoted elsewhere in this article.

House prices in Amsterdam Centrum

In the third quarter of 2026, Centrum had the highest median sale price and the highest median price per square metre of the seven districts. It also had the second-longest selling time, at 42 days. These figures give you a sense of the local market. How much time you have to decide or how much room there is to negotiate depends on the individual property.

House prices in Amsterdam West

The median sale price in West is considerably lower than in Centrum or Zuid, while the price per square metre remains close to both. A lower purchase price in West can therefore still mean paying a similar amount per square metre.

House prices in Amsterdam Nieuw-West

Nieuw-West has a lower median price per square metre than Noord, alongside a higher median sale price overall. Looking at both figures gives you a fuller picture when comparing the two districts.

House prices in Amsterdam Zuid and Oud-Zuid

At €9,344 per square metre, Zuid is one of Amsterdam’s most expensive districts. If you are specifically looking at house prices in Oud-Zuid, use the figures for Zuid as a starting point. The report covers Zuid as a whole and provides no separate figures for Oud-Zuid.

House prices in Amsterdam Oost

The median sale price in Oost is close to that of Zuid, while the price per square metre is lower. When comparing properties, consider the purchase price alongside the floor area and features of each home.

House prices in Amsterdam Zuidoost

Zuidoost has the lowest median sale price and the lowest median price per square metre of the seven districts. It also has the longest selling time, at 49 days. Competition can still vary considerably from one property to the next.

House prices in Amsterdam Noord

In Noord, flats accounted for 146 of the 210 homes sold. When comparing prices in Amsterdam Noord, we recommend looking at sales of the same property type.

 

Are house prices in Amsterdam rising or falling?

According to the MVA, house prices in the municipality of Amsterdam were broadly stable in the third quarter of 2026 compared with the same period a year earlier. Supply increased over the same period. At the end of the quarter, 3,113 homes were on the market through NVM estate agents, up 25% on a year earlier.

In total, 2,652 homes sold in Amsterdam, with an average selling time of 36 days. Bidding above the asking price remained common, with 77% of homes selling for more than their final asking price. Buyers had more choice, and competition remained strong.

Changes in the median sale price also reflect the mix of homes sold each quarter. If you want to know what your own home is worth, recent sales of comparable properties are a better starting point.

House prices by neighbourhood in Amsterdam

If you want to compare house prices by neighbourhood, the district figures in this article give you a starting point. Prices can vary considerably between neighbourhoods and even between streets in the same district. Alongside the price per square metre, we consider the following when advising on an offer or recommending an asking price.

• Location — The street, outlook, transport links and local amenities.
• Property type and layout — The floor area and how well the space can be used.
• Condition of the property and foundations — The structural condition and any work likely to be needed.
• Leasehold — The lease terms, any ground rent and future costs.
• Owners’ association (VvE) — The maintenance plan, reserve funds and monthly contribution.
• Energy efficiency and outdoor space — The energy rating, insulation, heating and other installations, and whether the property has a balcony or garden.

The right home also depends on your priorities. How important are extra space, a shorter commute or amenities within walking distance? Our estate agents can help you weigh those priorities against what each property offers. Explore our property buying service.

 

Advice from our estate agents

Based on these figures, what advice would you give buyers and sellers?

Joan Dik, registered NVM estate agent, valuer and partner at VON POLL REAL ESTATE:

“Many buyers assume the asking price reflects what the property is expected to sell for. In Amsterdam, we still often find that we need to set the asking price below the expected sale price to attract enough interest and viewings.

“That can distort comparisons based solely on the asking price per square metre. A low asking price per square metre can still result in a higher final price, and a bid well above asking can still be in line with market value. What matters is how the final purchase price compares with the property’s market value.

“We advise buyers to base their offer on actual sale prices for genuinely comparable homes in the same neighbourhood and market segment. We take into account factors such as the layout, finish, outdoor space, leasehold terms and the owners’ association.

“We advise sellers to work with their estate agent to distinguish between the asking price strategy and the expected sale price. Present the property thoroughly and set an asking price that you can justify in light of comparable homes currently on the market. For both buyers and sellers, the asking price and the average price per square metre are only part of the picture.”

 

What does this mean for your purchase or sale?

Looking to buy? Start by clarifying what you want from a home and what you can afford. Use comparable sales and information about the property to work out what to offer. The percentage of homes selling above asking shows how common overbidding is. Your offer should reflect the individual property and how its asking price was set.

Looking to sell? A well-supported asking price, a clear presentation and readily available information about maintenance, leasehold and the owners’ association help buyers assess your property. How long your home takes to sell will depend on the property and the market at the time.

An estimate of your home’s market value can help you decide whether to sell. If you need a formal valuation report, let us know what it is for so we can advise on the right service.

What do these figures mean for your plans? Whether you want to know what your home could sell for or are looking for a neighbourhood that suits your priorities and budget, our team at VON POLL REAL ESTATE will take the time to understand your situation and talk through your options.
