Homes for sale in Lith, Oss
View the current supply of homes for sale in Lith, with neighbourhood data, resident reviews and sales statistics on one page.
House prices in Lith: well above the Oss average
Lith is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 73% of the more than 1,300 homes are owned by the residents. That is significantly more than in many other parts of the municipality. The average WOZ value is €397,000, compared to €346,000 on average in Oss. That difference of over €50,000 says something about the type of housing that dominates here: they are predominantly spacious single-family homes and detached houses, not compact apartments. In the past twelve months, 52 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €641,087 and an average living area of 177 m². The range ran from €116,500 to €1,485,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and substantial rural plots come onto the market. For the current supply and the average asking price at this moment, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Lith: village-like, green and with a clear downside
Lith is a village on the Meuse, in the municipality of Oss, and you can tell. It has a village scale, plenty of greenery and a housing stock consisting of spacious houses with gardens. Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.8 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. Resident Roelie aptly describes the atmosphere on her street: she points to the annual street barbecue, looking out for each other and the willingness to ask for and give help. At the same time, she adds a caveat: there is little to do for young children. That image recurs more often on the Lith neighbourhood page with all reviews and scores. Another resident gives the neighbourhood a 3.5 and writes that activities for children are largely organised through the school, which is disadvantageous for families whose children go to school elsewhere. Driving behaviour on the streets is also mentioned as a point of concern.
The amenities score of 5.8 is the lowest sub-score and that is recognisable. Lith has limited daily amenities: there is a small supermarket, but for a full grocery shop, a GP or a larger range of shops, you have to rely on Oss or Ravenstein. Primary education is available in the village. For secondary education, young people have to go to the surrounding cities. For sports, there is some provision in the village itself, but the offering is small-scale. De Lithse Ham, a recreational area directly adjacent to the village, scores highly on green space and outdoor space. Those interested in a home on the water or in the rural area can also look at De Lithse Ham or Buitengebied Lith.
In terms of accessibility, Lith scores a 7.2 from residents, but that requires nuance. There is no train station in Lith itself. The nearest stations are Oss and Ravenstein. By car, the A50 is accessible via Oss, about ten to fifteen minutes away. Bus connections are available but limited in frequency, which means that a car of one's own is not a luxury but a necessity for most residents. For those who travel daily to Den Bosch, Nijmegen or Eindhoven, the travel time is acceptable but not minimal. The municipality of Oss provides more information about local amenities and accessibility via the website of the municipality of Oss.
For whom is buying in Lith the right choice?
Lith mainly attracts families and home-movers who consciously choose space, peace and a village environment, and are willing to pay for it. With an average selling price of over €641,000, this is not a market for starters with a limited budget. The entry price of €116,500 presumably concerns exceptionally smaller or renovation properties. In addition to the purchase price, take into account transfer tax (2% for home-movers), notary costs and any renovation costs for older homes. Those looking for more flexibility or a lower budget can also look at the rental homes in Lith. For a broader offering in the region, neighbourhoods such as Oss-Zuid or Krinkelhoek are also worth comparing.

Furthermore, there are notary costs for the deed of transfer and mortgage deed, and possible valuation and advisory costs. For older homes in Lith, it is wise to also include a structural survey in the budget.
Not social, no thought given to children who go to school elsewhere because all activities go through the school. Only 1 shop in the neighbourhood. People drive too fast in the neighbourhood. So I find it very unpleasant and unsafe.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is friendly, helpful and caring. The children can play outside nicely. The house is currently in poor condition but a renovation will follow in early 2025.
Auto-translated to English by AII'm mainly talking about our street and the area around it. About that I can say that we fortunately still look out for each other, that we dare to ask each other for help, and that we have an annual street BBQ to promote and/or strengthen togetherness. However, there is little for young children to do, which is a shame, because we all have our (grand)children and in the neighbourhood they can hardly let off steam. For the elderly, it's a wonderful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful quiet village. You do have to be sociable yourself to be fully accepted. Recently a new housing estate was added. But the old Lith remains truly Lith. Nice cycling/walking area. Lovely and quiet. 1 supermarket, unfortunately often on the pricey side. 1 bakery, lovely but expensive. Public transport is available but not very frequent. Close to the cities of Oss and Den Bosch is also within reach.
