Rental prices and market figures Verspreide huizen Koeweg en Molecaten, Hattem
Renting in Verspreide huizen Koeweg en Molecaten is not an everyday choice: only 10% of the 166 homes in this neighbourhood are rental properties. The vast majority (90%) are owner-occupied, which immediately indicates the neighbourhood's positioning. Of the rental portion, 2% is owned by a housing association (social housing) and 7% belongs to other landlords (private sector). The supply of rentals is therefore scarce.
In the private sector (excluding social housing), one home was rented out in the past twelve months, for a rent of €300 per month with an average area of 229 m². That works out to about €1.31 per m² per month, which is remarkably low for a property of this size and is likely related to the specific character of the real estate in this rural area. For comparison: the average WOZ value in this neighbourhood is €603,000, well above the district average of €571,000 (Polder Hattem en Molecaten) and significantly above the municipal average of €399,000 for Hattem. So this is a neighbourhood with high-quality real estate, but a very limited rental market.
