Homes for sale in Centrum, Venray

Purchase prices in Centrum Venray: what do you pay for a home here?

The average WOZ value in this neighbourhood is €270,000, while the municipal average for Venray comes to €315,000.

If you are looking for more space, you could also consider Heide or Merselo, where the housing supply has a different character.

Who is a home for sale in Centrum Venray suitable for?

Living in the centre mainly attracts seniors and single-person households, which is also reflected in the population structure: the 65-plus group is by far the largest. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for those who want to live centrally without being dependent on a car. For first-time buyers, buying a home in the centre is possible, but in addition to the purchase price, also factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2%), notary fees and possible estate agent fees. With an average purchase price of almost €315,000, these additional costs quickly add up to €10,000 or more. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Centrum as an alternative. Families with children also look at Smakt, where it is quieter and greener.
