A licence is permission to build, not a finished home: most are completed one to three years later, and some never are. CBS counts permits from the buildings register (BAG) by the month they are registered, so a large plan registered at once shows as one month's spike.

Buy or rent

Figures for Netherlands: Noord-Holland province has no reliable figures of its own.

Renting the average home costs less each month than owning it. Owning counts interest, running costs and the return the deposit could earn, at the average sale price; rent is what private tenants pay on average, after housing benefit. Repaying the loan is saving, so it is left out.

Rent per month
€968
Owning per month
