House prices in the Netherlands continue to rise but the growth has been slowing for the past four months, according to new figures published by statistics agency CBS and the land registry office Kadaster.
In August, house prices were up 11.9% but in July the rise was 14.5%, the CBS said on Thursday. Last winter, house prices were rising by around 20% a year.
House prices have been rising steadily since 2013 and are now double the figure of nine years ago.
Fewer houses are changing hands because of the continuing shortage of supply. In August, 16,405 deals were signed, down 5% on July and 20% below the August 2021 figure, the CBS said.
