Number of Million-Euro Homes in the Netherlands Has Tripled in Five Years
The Netherlands now has more than 273,000 homes worth €1 million or more, around one in sixteen owner-occupied properties. A million-euro home is increasingly an ordinary terraced house or apartment.
The number of homes in the Netherlands worth €1 million or more has more than tripled in five years, according to the annual "Million-Euro Homes" report from market research firm Calcasa. At the end of 2025, the country counted more than 273,000 such properties, almost 50,000 more than a year earlier, a rise of around 22 percent.

A steep, steady climb
The growth is part of a long-running trend. The number of million-euro homes in the Netherlands has now risen for twelve years in a row. Since 2020, when there were around 80,000, the total has more than tripled. At the low point of the credit crisis, the country had only about 12,500 homes worth over a million euros, meaning the figure is now more than twenty times higher.
As a result, about 6.2 percent of the Dutch owner-occupied housing stock is now worth more than €1 million, roughly one in every sixteen owner-occupied homes. The average value of a million-euro home is €1,360,000.
Outpacing the wider market
Million-euro homes are not only growing in number but also rising in value faster than the rest of the market. In 2025, prices in this segment rose by 8.8 percent, against 5.6 percent for the owner-occupied market as a whole. The number of transactions involving million-euro homes also grew, from around 6,000 in 2024 to nearly 8,000 in 2025.
No longer just villas
The make-up of the million-euro segment has also broadened. Just over half of these homes are still detached houses, but, as Calcasa puts it, “a house no longer has to be a villa to be worth a million.” About 15 percent are semi-detached houses, 12 percent are mid-terrace houses, 8 percent corner houses and 9 percent apartments. In Amsterdam, the picture is reversed: more than 70 percent of the city’s million-euro homes are apartments. In cities such as The Hague, Amstelveen, Haarlem and Leiden, terraced and row houses are now the largest group within the million-euro bracket.
Where they are
Amsterdam has by far the most million-euro homes, with over 19,000. In six municipalities, including Wassenaar, the average home is now worth more than €1 million. Wassenaar is also home to the most expensive street in the country, the Konijnenlaan, where every house is worth over a million euros and the average property value is around €3.4 million. The most expensive neighbourhood in the Netherlands is in Amsterdam, with De Kieviet in Wassenaar in third place.
The wider context
The figures land against the backdrop of a long-running Dutch housing crisis, with a shortage of hundreds of thousands of homes and prices that have continued to climb. The spread of million-euro price tags illustrates how that crisis affects different groups differently: existing owners build up large amounts of equity and can move up the ladder more easily, while first-time buyers face high prices, limited supply and strong competition.
