Homes in Netherlands under $200K

$200,000 in the Netherlands gets you into regional Dutch cities. Two-bed flats in Enschede, Arnhem, Nijmegen, and Maastricht. Small apartments in Rotterdam's Zuid (Charlois, Feijenoord), The Hague's outer districts, and Utrecht's distant suburbs. Amsterdam is nowhere at this price. Expect well-insulated Dutch construction (far better than UK or Mediterranean stock), efficient heating, and compact but functional layouts. Closing costs are 10% of purchase price (2% transfer tax + 2% agent fees + ~6% for valuation, notary, advisor). Non-residents pay 10.4% transfer tax on homes they will not live in themselves.
