Shops are transformed into houses: the strange phenomenon that is spreading in the Netherlands
This first month of the new year has already ended and, although only 30 days have passed since the old 2018 farewell, it seems that certain phenomena have abundantly taken shape in many countries. There are several trends in 2019, which mainly characterized a state in particular: the Netherlands.
Holland has always been recognized worldwide for its innovative strength, the green everywhere, the ethics of the urban order and the daily methodology. A country always on the crest of the wave, which is always able to sustain and overcome even the most critical situations.
The ability to change an apparently unfavorable circumstance into optimal and profitable for the entire nation emerged in the early days of January.
What happened so striking in the real estate sector? The number of empty shops in the Netherlands has decreased dramatically.
You will think it is an effect related to the excellent Dutch economic policy, which grows and improves exponentially each year. Unfortunately for you, the answer is not correct, because at the base of this survey, there is a cause all focused on the real estate market.
In fact, in January, many commercial activities were converted into residences, contributing to an increase in supply in the Dutch brick market and a not so dramatic return to the commercial sector. Property owners are increasingly attracted to stores that can potentially be converted into homes.
The reason ?
The drop in store rental prices has decreased by 2.2% on average last year while house rentals have increased by 4%.
But that is not all. This change was also due to the great capacity of e-commerce to become invasive first and then pervasive in the life and habits of us all. There are fewer and fewer people who physically go to the shops to buy a product, especially for what concerns clothing.
It is obviously easier to choose a garment online, to select the size and to deliver the goods at home rather than to go in situ and then '' risk '' not to find what you want. Last year, moreover, the Netherlands recorded an increase in rented properties, leading to a real record in the Dutch real estate sector, despite rising prices.
If four years ago the value of a generic real estate transaction reached about three billion euros, currently the seven billion is reached and exceeded.
Students also played their role, even predominantly. We have become, we will dare to say, the real new investors.
Thanks to them, the Dutch real estate market has moved more than 700 million euros.
What to say, the Netherlands started the new year with a bang.
We hope it can continue like this for the remaining 11 months!
