Number of Dutch homes worth more than €1 million jump 22% to 273,000 last year

The number of homes in the Netherlands worth over €1 million increased by a massive 22 percent to 273,000 homes last year. That is nearly 50,000 more million-euro homes than in 2024. These homes make up 6.2 percent of the Dutch owner-occupied housing stock, NU.nl reported based on calculations by Calcasa.

In the midst of the credit crisis, the Netherlands had 12,500 homes valued at €1 million or more. That number has increased twentyfold since 2013 to last year’s over 273,000. In 2025, the average value of a million-euro home was approximately €1,360,000. These homes had an average living area of over 210 square meters, making the average price per square meter over €6,700.

In absolute numbers, the four large Dutch cities count the most million-euro homes. Amsterdam tops the list at over 19,000, followed by The Hague (11,700), Utrecht (8,600), and Rotterdam (6,500).

In Bloemendaal, 57 percent of all homes are valued at over a million euros. Laren also has a majority of million-euro homes at 53 percent. Blaricum, Wassenaar, and Heemstede follow with approximately 44 percent.

The researchers called it striking that the growth in million-euro homes is expanding beyond the big cities and well-known wealthy municipalities. Places like Zeist, Ede, and Nijmegen also have more and more homes worth €1 million or more, showing that the million-euro market is shifting further towards regular urban housing markets.

Million-euro homes are also no longer exclusively gigantic villas. Nationwide, slightly over half of homes worth €1 million or more are detached homes. 15 percent are semi-detached homes, 12 percent are terraced homes, 8 percent are corner houses, and 9 percent are apartments.
