Real Estate in the Netherlands: A Taxonomy of Risks and Policy Challenges

Abstract

Soaring real estate prices and valuations despite the economic downturn brought by the pandemic have focussed the attention of Dutch policymakers on potential macro-financial and socio-economic implications. In this context, our paper reviews the salient features of Dutch commercial and residential real estate markets with an eye to identify pertinent risks and challenges. While we find that the Dutch authorities have made considerable strides to strengthen real estate-related policies in recent years, some, and partly longstanding, issues remain, requiring additional efforts to bolster financial stability, address housing supply shortages and manage secular changes affecting property markets.

“…Samarasinghe (2021) presented a comparative analysis, primarily focusing on comparing and contrasting affordable housing policies in Australia and New Zealand. Matoušek (2021) Luca and Geis (2021) reviews the salient features of Dutch commercial and residential real estate markets with an eye to identify pertinent risks and challenges. Emekci (2021) on the one hand aimed to examine how the pandemic has exacerbated the problem; on the other hand, the paper tried to reveal that the problem has been handled incorrectly and how weaknesses in the policy strategies contribute to this problem through a case study of the low-income group.…”
