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.

Affordability

At the average sale price, a home costs €374,010. With 10% down and a 30-year mortgage, the payment is €1,595 a month. The Netherlands sets no single cap on the payment: each year the law fixes how much of their income a household may spend on the mortgage, by income and interest rate.

Buy or rent

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.
