The average WOZ value is €408,000, which is noticeably higher than the municipal average of €370,000 for Olst-Wijhe.

In the past twelve months, 6 homes were sold with an average sale price of €562,250 and an average area of 135 m². The range ran from €379,500 to €695,000, indicating that both modest owner-occupied homes and substantial rural properties change hands.

Living in Den Nul: peace and space, but be honest about what is no longer there
Den Nul is a small village on the edge of the IJssel corridor, with a predominantly quiet and green character. The buildings are scattered, the roads are narrow and there is little traffic. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Den Nul give the village a 7.4 out of 10. Safety (9.0) and housing (9.0) score excellently, and green spaces (8.0) and beauty (8.0) are also highly valued. That matches what you see when you drive around: open landscape, large gardens and low building density.
But resident Alfred Postma is honest in his review: "Quiet neighbourhood, few facilities. The primary school has been gone for four years. Café Ripperda is gone, the clockmaker too. So little remains." That is not a complaint, but a factual description. Den Nul has no supermarket of its own, no primary school anymore and hardly any catering facilities. For daily shopping and amenities, you rely on the surrounding centres. Accessibility therefore scores only a 6.0 among residents, and that is understandable. The nearest station is Olst, a few kilometres away. From there, you can reach Zwolle by train in about 25 minutes and Deventer in about 35 minutes. The connection to the A28 and N35 goes via Olst or Wijhe. Public transport within the village itself is limited.
Den Nul consists of two sub-areas, each with its own character: Den Nul Kern is the small village centre, while Buitengebied Den Nul comprises the scattered buildings in the rural area. Those seeking space and privacy often look at that rural area. Sports facilities are limited in the village itself; for clubs, sports hall and swimming pool you go to Wijhe or Olst. The municipality of Olst-Wijhe provides up-to-date information about municipal facilities and ongoing projects in the region via olst-wijhe.nl.
For whom is buying in Den Nul a good choice?
Living in Den Nul mainly appeals to people who consciously choose peace, space and low building density, and who see a car as a natural means of transport. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, which fits the character of the village. Starters will find few affordable entry-level homes here: with an average sale price of over €562,000 and a lower limit of almost €380,000, you need substantial financing. Also do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and possible valuation costs quickly add up to several thousand euros. If you are unsure whether buying is the right time now, you can also look at the rental homes in Den Nul as a temporary alternative.
