Data cited at:  CBS StatLine databank https://opendata.cbs.nl/statline/portal.html?_la=en&_catalog=CBS Publication: Existing own homes; average purchase prices, region https://opendata.cbs.nl/portal.html?_la=en&_catalog=CBS&tableId=83625ENG&_theme=997 License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   This table shows the average purchase price that has been paid in the reporting period for existing own homes purchased by a private individual. The average purchase price of existing own homes may differ from the price index of existing own homes. The average purchase price is no indicator for price developments of owner-occupied residential property. The average purchase price reflects the average price of dwellings sold in a particular period. The fact that de dwellings sold differs from one period to another is not taken into account. The following instance explains which problems are entailed by the continually changing of the quality of the dwellings sold. Suppose in February of a particular year mainly big houses with extensive gardens beautifully situated alongside canals are sold, whereas in March many small terraced houses are sold. In that case the average purchase price in February will be higher than in March but this does not mean that house prices are increased. See note 3 for a link to the article 'Why the average purchase price is not an indicator'. Data available from: 1995 Status of the figures: The figures are definite. Changes as of 9 February 2018: The figures of 2017 are added to the table. When will new figures be published? New figures are published about 21 days after the period under review.

From 2009 on there is a spectacular growth as a consequence of the transformation by pension funds of their own investments into shares in investment funds that have been established by the pension funds themselves. This transformation leads to a double counting of these investments: with pension funds as investment fund shares and with investment funds as equity, debt securities and direct property. From 2013 on this type of transformation occurs also by insurance corporations. The double counting is avoided by excluding investments in Dutch investment fund shares

Data were calculated by Statistic Netherlands (CBS) and are based on building permits with a value of 50 thousand euros or more issued by municipal authorities, and the reported construction costs as stated in the permits. On the basis of these building permits and the construction time, construction output is calculated by means of average waiting times prior to the start of the construction activities. Price indices listed in the table are used to eliminate the effect of price changes on the construction output. Therefore, the price index can be used to as a deflator to calculate volume developments in the building sector. Price indices are calculated for 2 sections (Construction of new buildings and Other buildings) and 3 sectors (dwellings, buildings for the private sector and buildings for the (semi-)public or non-commercial sector). Data available from: 1st quarter 2015 Status of the figures: Price index figures up to and including the third quarter of 2017 are final. Changes since 26 October 2018: The figures of the third quarter of 2018 are added to the table. When will new figures become available? Provisional figures for the fourth quarter and year of 2018 will be released in January 2019.
