Homes for sale in Kern Ommen - Centrum, Ommen

House prices and market figures Kern Ommen - Centrum, Ommen

The owner-occupied market in Kern Ommen - Centrum is relatively modest in size: of the 420 homes in the neighbourhood, only 40% are owner-occupied. The remaining 60% are rental properties, most of which are owned by private landlords. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Kern Ommen - Centrum limited, but not uninteresting. The average WOZ value is €290,000, which is clearly lower than the district average of €359,000 and the municipal average of €388,000. This difference is entirely due to the central character of the neighbourhood: more apartments and smaller homes, fewer detached houses on spacious plots.

Looking at actual sales transactions over the past twelve months, 14 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €460,286 and an average living area of 95 m². This works out to an average price of approximately €4,845 per m². The range is remarkably wide: from €175,000 to €865,000. This reflects the varied supply, from small apartments to larger central homes. For current asking prices and available properties, you can refer to the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Kern Ommen - Centrum, Ommen

The centre of Ommen has a distinct village character, but a village centre that truly feels alive. The neighbourhood revolves around the Markt and the streets immediately surrounding it, such as Hammerstraat and Varsenerstraat. Here you live within walking distance of almost everything Ommen has to offer: shops, restaurants, the library, and the Vecht river that flows just behind the centre. Resident Thom Mensen describes it aptly: "Pleasant living in Ommen with many activities within walking distance. In summer, a bustling town." That summer dynamism is recognisable to anyone who has been to Ommen during the high season, when tourists fill the terraces and the Vecht is full of canoes.

The housing stock in the centre consists largely of older buildings, many built before or shortly after the Second World War, supplemented by a few apartment complexes from later decades. Detached houses on large plots are the exception here. Anyone looking for a home to buy in the centre is more likely to think of an upper-floor apartment, a terraced house, or a smaller mid-terrace house. This makes the neighbourhood more affordable than the surrounding districts, but also more compact and with less greenery right on your doorstep. Residents therefore give greenery a score of 6.0, while safety and accessibility score excellently with 9.0 and 9.0 respectively.

Facilities are a clear asset. On the Markt and in the immediate vicinity, you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, various specialist shops, and a wide range of eateries. Primary schools are within cycling distance, although residents rate education relatively low at 5.0, which may be related to the limited choice within the neighbourhood itself. For secondary education, students rely on schools elsewhere in Ommen or the region.

In terms of accessibility, Kern Ommen - Centrum scores well. Ommen has its own train station, within walking distance of the centre, with connections towards Zwolle. Via the N34, the A28 is quickly reachable. Zwolle is about a 35-minute drive away, Hardenberg about 20 minutes. This also makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters who work in a larger city but prefer to live in a smaller-scale environment.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods, the centre has a different profile. Kern Ommen - Laarakkers offers more space and greenery, while Buurtschap Ommeres has a more rural character. If you want to combine the liveliness of the centre with an owner-occupied home, you are in the right place here.
