Purchase prices in Kwadijk: well above the municipal average
Kwadijk is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 84% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, compared to just 16% rental properties. That already says something about the character of this small village in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The average WOZ value is €520,000, significantly higher than the municipal average of €402,000. In the past twelve months, seven homes were sold, with an average purchase price of €652,857. The range was wide: from €325,000 to €1,450,000, with an average living area of 183 m². This points to an offering dominated by larger single-family homes and detached houses, no apartments. For current asking prices and the current supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Anyone considering buying a home in Kwadijk must take into account a limited supply. With only 320 homes in total, the market is small and houses often sell quickly. Buying in Kwadijk therefore requires preparation: having a mortgage advice in hand and a buying agent who knows the local market are not unnecessary luxuries. For comparison: for owner-occupied homes in Edam-Volendam as a whole, average prices are lower, but there too the market has tightened considerably in recent years.
Living in Kwadijk: polder tranquillity with a close-knit village community
Kwadijk is not a village you drive through without noticing, but it is also not a village that promotes itself. It lies nestled between the polders of the Beemster and the waters of the Purmer, with a ribbon of dike houses, farms and some newer development. Living in Kwadijk means: space, tranquillity and a direct connection to the Dutch landscape. The average age is relatively high, with the 45 to 65 age group as the largest category, and almost half of households are married. That says something about the atmosphere: this is a village of people who have consciously chosen this kind of peace.
You have to be honest about amenities. Kwadijk has no supermarket within the village boundaries and no primary school within walking distance. For daily shopping you drive to Purmerend or Edam. The nearest schools are in surrounding villages. For sports, there are opportunities: the area is excellent for cycling and walking, and various sports clubs are active in the region. On the neighbourhood page of Kwadijk you will find resident reviews and scores per category, including what residents themselves say about the level of amenities. A recurring theme in those reviews is appreciation for the tranquillity and social cohesion, but also the honest note that you need the car for almost everything.
In terms of accessibility, Kwadijk is not a village with a station within walking distance. The nearest NS station is Purmerend, about ten minutes by car. From there, you can reach Amsterdam Central in about twenty minutes by sprinter. Bus line 314 connects Kwadijk with Purmerend and Edam, but the frequency is limited, especially outside peak hours. The connection to the A7 towards Amsterdam and Hoorn is easily accessible via Purmerend. Anyone who commutes daily in Kwadijk almost always does so by car. Similar villages in the region, such as Beets and Oosthuizen, have a similar situation. Those who prefer more urban amenities around the corner might look sooner at Edam or Volendam.
For which buyers is a home in Kwadijk suitable?
Kwadijk mainly attracts movers and people in the 45-plus life stage who consciously choose space and tranquillity over urban convenience. With an average selling price of over €650,000 and a WOZ value of €520,000, this is not a starter market. Starters who still want to buy in Kwadijk must take into account overbidding and additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees. The supply is scarce and changes little. If buying is not feasible now, consider the rental properties in Kwadijk as an interim solution. The municipality has more information about local schemes at edam-volendam.nl.
