Terraced houses for sale in Nijkerk

Nijkerk: a buyer's market where terraced houses sell quickly

Nijkerk lies at the intersection of the Veluwe and the Randstad, and you notice this in the housing market. The municipality is strongly buyer-dominated: rental properties are scarce, and if you want to live here, you buy. Terraced houses make up a large part of the supply in the newer expansion neighbourhoods, but you also regularly come across them in the older neighbourhoods around the centre. The supply moves quickly. A terraced house that goes online on Friday is often already under offer by Monday.

Who is this type of property suitable for here? Terraced houses in Nijkerk mainly attract families and couples looking for space without taking the step to a detached house. The location also makes it attractive for commuters heading to Utrecht, Amersfoort or Harderwijk. The price level is in the upper middle segment. Current figures can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

What you need to know before making an offer

Terraced houses have specific points of attention that are less relevant for other property types. Keep the following in mind:

• Shared walls and noise. Always ask about the construction period. Houses from the 1970s and 1980s often have thinner cavity walls than new builds. Have a structural survey carried out, even if the house looks good.
• Easements and joint ownership. Terraced houses sometimes share a driveway, fence or sewer connection with neighbours. Check the deed and the land registry for easements before you sign.
• HOA or no HOA. Some terraced houses in Nijkerk fall under a Homeowners' Association (for apartment blocks or courtyard houses). Check whether there is an active HOA and whether the reserve fund is in order.
• Extension possibilities. Terraced houses often have a relatively small back garden. Enquire with the municipality about permit requirements for an extension or dormer window, as zoning plans differ per neighbourhood.
• Energy label and insulation. Older terraced houses in Nijkerk sometimes have label D or lower. Banks and mortgage lenders are increasingly critical of this. A poor label can complicate financing or incur extra costs.
• React quickly, but not hastily. In a tight market, the temptation to make an offer immediately is great. Nevertheless, always schedule a second viewing if you are serious, and engage a buying agent if you do not know the market well.
• Use the free Buurtje.nl app. Turn on push notifications so you receive an alert immediately when new supply appears in Nijkerk. The app is free to download via the App Store and Google Play.

Price level: what determines the value of a terraced house in Nijkerk?

Nijkerk belongs to the upper middle segment for terraced houses. This has to do with the central location, good accessibility via the A28 and the relatively limited new-build production in the municipality. Current asking prices and market movements can be seen in the overview at the top of this page.

Factors that influence the price of a specific terraced house:

• Year of construction and state of maintenance
• Presence of a garage or driveway (scarce in older neighbourhoods)
• Energy label and implemented insulation measures
• Location relative to the centre and public transport
• Garden orientation (south-facing does well in Nijkerk)

Neighbourhoods to watch when searching for a terraced house

Not every neighbourhood in Nijkerk is equally suitable for every type of buyer. A brief sketch:

• Arkemheen, Achterhoek and De Veenhuis (score 10.0/10). Residents give these neighbourhoods the highest score. Quiet, green residential areas with many families. There are relatively many terraced houses from the 1990s and 2000s here. Popular, so supply is limited.
• Nijkerk-stad (score 8.2/10). The centre and its immediate surroundings. More variation in property types and construction periods. Walking distance to shops, schools and the station. Terraced houses here are older but often have more character.
