Purchase prices in Luttenberg: above the municipal average of Raalte
Luttenberg is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: about 80% of the 909 homes are owner-occupied, compared to only 20% rental properties. The average WOZ value is €409,000, which is clearly above the municipal average of Raalte (€369,000). That difference is no coincidence: the housing stock consists mainly of spacious single-family homes and detached houses on larger plots, a type of home that is popular in this part of Overijssel. In the past twelve months, 14 homes were sold, with an average purchase price of €496,571 and a range from €125,000 to €695,000. The average sold home had an area of 225 m², which explains the space buyers get for their money here.

Buying apartments in Luttenberg is hardly an option: the village has virtually no multi-storey buildings. If you are considering buying an apartment, you are better off looking in the centre of Raalte or in other villages in the municipality. In Luttenberg, it is all about ground-based homes, often with a garden and space around them.
Luttenberg: forest, peace and a close-knit community in the countryside
Living in Luttenberg means living on the edge of the Sallandse Heuvelrug, with the Luttenbergerbos literally around the corner. That is not marketing talk: residents mention the forest as one of the concrete reasons to stay here. Femke de Haan, who left a review on the neighbourhood page of Luttenberg, describes it aptly: she walks there daily with her dog and experiences the neighbourhood positively. She gives the village a 7.6 out of 10, and that score matches the sub-scores: green scores a 9, community an 8 and safety an 8. Those are not average scores for a Dutch neighbourhood.
In terms of amenities, Luttenberg is reasonably well-equipped for a village of this size. There is a primary school, a community centre and a number of sports clubs active in and around the core. For daily groceries, you depend on local options; for a full supermarket offering, you drive to Raalte, about five to ten minutes away. Femke herself also indicates that for certain groceries you have to go a bit further. If you do not mind that and consciously choose peace, space and nature, you are in good hands here. In the Buitengebied Luttenberg you will find even more space and freedom, while the Luttenberg Kern has more amenities within reach.
Accessibility is the weak point, and residents are honest about it. Accessibility scores a 5 out of 10, the lowest sub-score. There is a neighbourhood bus, but it offers limited connections. For the train, you drive to Raalte, which has a station with connections to Zwolle and Almelo. By car, you are quickly on the motorway via the N35, and Zwolle can be reached in about twenty minutes. Those who want to live without a car are less suited to Luttenberg. Similar villages in the area such as Mariënheem, Heeten or Nieuw Heeten face similar challenges in that regard.
For whom is buying in Luttenberg a good choice?
Luttenberg mainly attracts families and people aged 45 to 65, and that is visible in the data: this is the largest age group, and households with children are the most common type. A home for sale in Luttenberg, with an average selling price of nearly €500,000, is not a starter home. Starters who still want to buy are better off looking at the lower segment or exploring the rental properties in Luttenberg as an intermediate step. When buying, take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and possible valuation costs. Supply is limited, so overbidding is realistic in this segment. More information about living and policy can be found on the website of municipality Raalte.

My experience is positive. It has a large forest where I enjoy walking my dog. In terms of amenities, it's also fine, but for certain errands you have to travel a bit further. As for public transport: there is improvement, as a neighbourhood bus does run, but the train in Raalte is very expensive and sometimes doesn't run... The train is operated by Blauwnet, so if I buy a youth day ticket, I also have to buy an extra Blauwnet ticket to travel; all in all, a day trip by train becomes very pricey.
