Buying a house in Montfoort: the housing market in 2026
Montfoort is a compact town on the Hollandsche IJssel in the province of Utrecht, where you feel like you live in the countryside while Utrecht and Woerden are just a fifteen-minute drive away. With fewer than 14,000 residents, it is manageable, quiet and green, but not remote. It is precisely this combination that attracts families and home-movers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the Randstad without giving up their jobs or social lives. The housing market reflects this: 74% of the more than 5,800 homes are owner-occupied, and the average WOZ value is €426,000. In the past twelve months, 103 homes changed hands for an average purchase price of €903,456, with a range of €310,000 to €1,550,000. This high average is heavily influenced by the spacious detached homes and farmhouses in the rural area; the average floor area of sold homes is no less than 215 m². Anyone considering buying an apartment in Montfoort should know that supply is limited. The market is tight: homes sell quickly and bidding above the asking price is common. At the top of this page, you can see the current selling time and asking prices for the latest updates. Buurtje.nl bundles listings from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can look beyond the home itself.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Montfoort
The municipality of Montfoort roughly consists of three areas: the town of Montfoort itself (Wijk 00), the village of Linschoten and the rural area of Willeskop. Each has its own character and price level. Below are the main neighbourhoods listed.
Wijk 00 (Montfoort-centrum), the historic heart
The core of Montfoort is where you find most amenities: supermarkets, primary schools, the town hall and the characteristic Hollandsche IJssel that runs through the town. Residents on Buurtje.nl give Wijk 00 an overall score of 6.7 based on 2 reviews. Notable are the high scores for safety (8.5) and beauty (8.0). However, one resident notes that community spirit lags behind, with a 5.0 for community. Here you will find a mix of older terraced houses, semi-detached homes and occasionally a detached house. Prices are generally lower than the municipal average, simply because the plots are smaller than in the rural area. Check the current housing supply in Wijk 00 for available options.
Linschoten, village living with its own amenities
Linschoten is an independent village within the municipality with its own village centre, primary school, sports clubs and a pleasant strip along the Linschoterdijk. The village has a close-knit character and mainly attracts families looking for space. Homes are on average larger than in Montfoort-centrum, and you will find more detached houses and semi-detached homes from the 1970s and 1980s. In terms of price, Linschoten is often slightly above the centre of Montfoort, but still below the municipal average of €903,456, which is heavily driven up by the rural villas. Anyone wanting to buy a home here should act quickly: supply is small and sells fast. Check what is currently for sale in Linschoten.
Willeskop, space and tranquillity in the rural area
Willeskop is the rural area south and east of Montfoort. Here you will find the large plots, farmhouses and detached homes that significantly raise the municipal average. If you dream of a house with views over meadows and the Lopikerwaard, then Willeskop is your place. The downside: there are hardly any amenities, you are dependent on the car and supply is scarce. Prices vary enormously, from a fixer-upper around €500,000 to country houses towards €1,550,000. Check the supply in Willeskop to see what is available.

What to look out for when buying a home in Montfoort?
First: look beyond the asking price. In Montfoort, the type of home varies enormously per neighbourhood. A terraced house in the centre and a detached home in Willeskop are two completely different markets. So orient yourself well on what you are looking for and in which part of the municipality that is realistic. Second: the market in Montfoort is tight. With only 103 transactions in the past year and limited supply, you need to be well prepared. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewings, because those who hesitate are left behind. Third: accessibility differs per neighbourhood. From the centre you can drive to the A12 near Woerden in ten minutes, but from Willeskop it takes longer. Public transport is limited; there is a bus line, but Montfoort does not have a train station. Keep that in mind if you travel for work. Finally: use the neighbourhood data on Buurtje.nl to compare neighbourhoods on safety, amenities and green space. The scores show that there are clear differences, even within such a small municipality. Prefer flexibility? Then also check the options for renting a home in Montfoort.

It's a nice, cosy neighbourhood where you can live well. The city centre is within walking distance. There are few shops, the centre is not busy but fine for a smaller city. Housing is a big problem, there are hardly any houses and when they are available, they are unaffordable. Otherwise, great place to live. The nature is reasonable, the city park could use some improvement but it's okay.
