Homes for sale in Fatima, Weert

Purchase prices in Fatima: below the WOZ value, but well above the average selling price

Fatima has around 1,468 homes, of which 45% are owner-occupied and 53% are rental properties. This ratio says something about the character of the neighbourhood: a significant portion of the housing stock is owned by housing associations (36%), meaning the owner-occupied segment is relatively limited. The average WOZ value is €278,000, clearly lower than the municipal average of €330,000 for Weert as a whole. Yet actual selling prices over the past year were much higher: of the 38 homes sold, an average of €423,711 was paid, with a range from €209,000 to €885,000. This difference between WOZ and selling price is striking and points to an active market where buyers are willing to pay a significant premium. The supply consists mainly of ground-floor homes, although apartments also come up for sale. Check the current supply and the average asking price at the top of this page for the most recent status.

Fatima from the inside: a quiet neighbourhood with an older population and recognisable structure

Living in Fatima means living in a neighbourhood that does not stand out for its hustle and bustle or dynamism, but rather for its tranquillity and recognisability. The population is relatively old: the largest age group is 65-plus (845 out of 2,650 residents), followed by those aged 45-65. You notice this in the atmosphere on the streets. The neighbourhood is quiet, the owner-occupied homes are often in green streets with some space, and social cohesion is present without being stifling. On the Fatima neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves think, including scores per category such as safety, greenery and amenities. Residents appreciate the tranquillity and the location relative to the centre, but are more critical of the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood itself.

In terms of amenities, Fatima is not fully self-sufficient, but that is not necessary either. Supermarkets and shops are within cycling distance towards the centre of Weert. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve families with young children, although the provision for secondary education is a bit further away. There are sports clubs and green spaces in and around the neighbourhood, which contributes to liveability for both the elderly and families. The nearby Fatima Industrial Estate borders the neighbourhood, which is a point of attention for some buyers when choosing a specific street.

Accessibility is reasonable. Weert has its own train station on the Eindhoven-Roermond line, reachable from the neighbourhood by bike in a few minutes. By car, you can quickly connect to the motorway towards Eindhoven or Roermond via the N266 and A2. Bus services run through the neighbourhood and connect Fatima with the centre and other neighbourhoods such as Boshoven and Laar en Hushoven. For comparison: Weert-Centrum offers more urbanity but also higher prices, while Biest has a similarly quiet character. More information about living and amenities in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Weert.
