Rental homes in Brummen Centrum, Brummen

Rental prices and market figures Brummen Centrum

In Brummen Centrum, 48% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, meaning renting and buying are almost evenly split here. Of all homes, 41% are owned by a housing association, resulting in a relatively large share of social housing. Only 7% falls under other landlords, so the free-sector rental supply is limited. In the free sector (excluding social housing), an average rent of €915 per month was recorded over the past twelve months, with a range of €864 to €932 per month. These figures are based on four rented homes, so the sample is small but does provide a guideline. For current rental prices of homes now available, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

The average WOZ value in Brummen Centrum is €337,000, slightly lower than the district average of €350,000 and clearly below the municipal average of €372,000. This reflects a neighbourhood with somewhat older housing stock and a more modest housing profile than elsewhere in the municipality. The average income per resident is €34,500, also just below the municipal average of €35,700. If you are looking for a rental home in the social sector, it is wise to register with the local housing association in good time, as supply is limited and demand is high.

The neighbourhood has 1,435 residents and a notably high proportion of over-65s: as many as 610 residents fall into this age category. This gives the centre a calm, stable character.
