Buying a house in Geertruidenberg: the housing market in 2026
Geertruidenberg is a compact municipality in the west of North Brabant, located on the Donge and the Oude Maasje. The municipality consists of three cores: the historic fortified town of Geertruidenberg, the larger Raamsdonksveer and the rural Raamsdonk. With over 22,000 inhabitants, it is a municipality where you still know each other, but where you are also quickly on the A27 or A59 towards Breda, Tilburg or the Randstad. This combination of village living and good accessibility mainly attracts families and home-movers.
Of the more than 10,120 homes in the municipality, 62% are owner-occupied, which is higher than the national average. The average WOZ value is €329,000, but prices on the sales market are now considerably higher: the average purchase price over the past twelve months came to €502,644, with a range of €275,000 to €1,250,000. On average, homes are around 162 m². With 104 homes sold in a year, supply is limited, making the market tight. Overbidding is common, especially for the most popular property types. At the top of this page you will find the current state of supply, the average asking price and the time to sell. Buurtje.nl bundles properties from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you look beyond just the property itself.

Geertruidenberg, living in a fortified town
The historic town of Geertruidenberg has an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in the municipality. The Markt with its monumental facades, the fortification walls and the location directly on the water give it a special character. Here live relatively more older residents and couples without children, but also young families who appreciate the charm of an old town. The neighbourhood score stands at 7.7 from 8 reviews, with high marks for safety (8.5) and education (8.1). Facilities score a lower 6.9, as for larger groceries or extensive shopping you drive to Raamsdonksveer or Oosterhout.

Raamsdonk, rural and quiet
Raamsdonk is the smallest and most rural core. The village is a bit further from the motorway and has a limited number of facilities, but does offer the space you find less in the other cores. Here you will more often find detached homes and semi-detached houses with larger plots. It is a place for people who consciously choose peace and greenery, and don't mind driving a bit for daily groceries. Prices per home can be higher here due to the larger plots, but the price per square metre is often more favourable. View what is for sale in Raamsdonk.

What to look out for when buying a home in Geertruidenberg?
The housing market in Geertruidenberg is tight, so prepare well. A few concrete tips:
1. Choose your core consciously. Raamsdonksveer offers the most facilities and the largest supply. Geertruidenberg is more atmospheric but more limited in terms of shops. Raamsdonk is for those who value space more than proximity. That choice determines your daily life more than you think beforehand.
2. Allow for overbidding. With only 104 sales in a year and an average selling price of over half a million euros, competition is fierce. Make sure your financing is arranged in advance and engage a buying agent who knows the local market.
3. Check accessibility per neighbourhood. Raamsdonksveer has a train station, but from Raamsdonk or the fortified town you are more dependent on the car. The A27 and A59 are close by, but during rush hour it can be busy around the Hooipolder junction.
4. Use neighbourhood data for your choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per neighbourhood on safety, green space, education and facilities. That gives a fairer picture than just a viewing on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Looking for more flexibility in budget? Also check the possibilities to rent in Geertruidenberg.

We know most of the people who live in our neighbourhood. We greet each other when we meet. During festivities, almost all of us are present. The beautiful market with its stately houses and the large square are very cosy when the terraces are set out in summer. We have many activities for outsiders too. And the Biesbosch is nearby. In short, I love my little town.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood where little happens. There is only 1 supermarket, and the market that was once very lively is now very quiet. You don't come here for the liveliness anymore.. a quiet neighbourhood though. Most neighbours are also very polite and always have a chat. In Geertruidenberg there are many anti-squat buildings, but this doesn't help with housing; in Raamsdonksveer, also municipality of Geertruidenberg, they are more involved with that. Facilities are insufficient, housing is being worked on in the municipality of Geertruidenberg.
