Record-breaking demand for properties in Haarlem. Rental remains lucrative.

During the current corona pandemic the rental market in the greater Haarlem area remains busy. In fact, more households are now looking for a new home. If you own a house or apartment that is currently (temporarily) vacant, (temporary) rental of your property can be a profitable option. 

ASK A QUESTION 

Why are many households looking for a new home right now? We have listed the five most important reasons for you.

• Homeworkers are looking for rental properties that offer an extra room that can be used as a home office or study and allows them to work from home undisturbed.
• Remote working offers the possibility to live more distant from the office and outside larger cities. Many home workers (including many expats already living here) are therefore looking for a house that has a garden, or an apartment with a balcony just outside Amsterdam and closer to beaches and dunes.
• Property purchase prices are at record highs, while mortgage requirements have become stricter than ever before. This makes it more difficult for many households to buy a home right now. Renting offers a good alternative.
• An increasing number of households have sold their properties with a plan to buy a new home in the coming 6-12 months. In the meantime, they are looking for a temporary rental home.
• Statistics show that, as a result of being more homebound during the pandemic, more relationships are being ended. As a consequence, one or both partners will need a new (temporary) rental home.

By the way, did you know that Dutch law offers homeowners the option of renting out a home temporarily, for a period of up to 24 months? During this period, no rent protection laws for tenants apply.
