Scarcity in Amstelveen housing market

There are currently 304 houses and/or flats for sale in Amstelveen. The number of transactions fell from 283 to 246 compared to last year. So the market in Amstelveen is also desperate for new supply. 

Many people are looking for their next home. They want to buy first and only then sell. Because of the reduced supply and the large number of seekers (from Amsterdam, among other places), the chance of success to buy is therefore low.
