Homes for sale in Centrum Ermelo, Ermelo

House prices in Centrum Ermelo: what do you pay and how does it compare to the rest of the municipality?

Of the 1,382 homes in Centrum Ermelo, 63% are owner-occupied, giving the neighbourhood a clear owner-occupied character. The average WOZ value is €391,000, noticeably lower than the municipal average of €430,000 for Ermelo as a whole. This difference is partly due to the type of housing: the centre has relatively many apartments and terraced houses alongside detached houses, which depresses the price level compared to the greener, more spacious neighbourhoods on the outskirts of the municipality. Over the past twelve months, 22 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €487,591 and a range of €298,000 to €825,000. This wide range shows that both entry-level homes and more spacious owner-occupied houses are available. For current asking prices and the current supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

In addition to owner-occupied homes, 36% of the housing stock is rental, of which 12% is managed by a housing association. If you are not yet sure whether buying is the right step, you can also look at rental homes in Centrum Ermelo as an alternative.
