House prices in Colmschate-Zuid: above the Deventer average, but for a reason
Colmschate-Zuid is quintessentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 65% of the more than 4,100 homes are owned, with the rest rented out via housing associations or private landlords. The average WOZ value is €338,000, slightly above the municipal average of €324,000 for Deventer. This difference is explainable: the neighbourhood largely consists of spacious single-family homes from the 1980s and 1990s, with gardens and garages, and such properties perform well on the market. Over the past twelve months, 13 homes were sold at an average sale price of €472,846. The range runs from €325,000 to €795,000, with an average living area of 140 m².

Another resident notes that it is "a neat neighbourhood with a neighbourhood app", that the greenery is well maintained and that the playground is large. Occasionally loitering youths, but otherwise little of note. That is honest and recognisable for a neighbourhood of this size. The areas Het Bramelt and Essenerveld also fall under Colmschate-Zuid and each have their own character, from newer construction to more rural plots.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores strongly. The De Scheg shopping centre is within cycling distance and offers supermarkets, a sports complex, a swimming pool and eateries.
