Living in Jubbega: a cosy village with forest on your doorstep and a strong social fabric

Living in Jubbega feels different from living in a city neighbourhood.

For which buyers is buying in Jubbega a good choice?

The large homes with an average living area of 235 m² are less suitable for starters with a limited budget, especially given the average sale price of nearly €584,000. In addition to the purchase price, also take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and possible valuation costs. Those who are still unsure whether buying is the right time can also look at the rental homes in Jubbega as a temporary alternative. The supply is limited, so acting quickly when a suitable home comes up is wise. More context about the housing market in the region can be found on the website of Heerenveen municipality.
