House prices and market figures for Noord 3, Barendrecht
The owner-occupied market in Noord 3 is small-scale but notably active. Of the 469 homes in the neighbourhood, 45% are owner-occupied, while 55% fall into the rental sector, the vast majority of which are owned by a housing association. This gives the neighbourhood a mixed character: owner-occupied homes sit alongside social housing, influencing the composition of the area.
The average WOZ value is €369,000. That is higher than the average for the broader district Noord (€352,000), but clearly lower than the municipal average for Barendrecht as a whole (€421,000). Noord 3 is therefore relatively affordable by Barendrecht standards, although the transaction data tells a different story for the owner-occupied segments that actually change hands.
In the past twelve months, six homes were sold, with an average sale price of €834,167 and a range of €465,000 to €1,200,000. The average floor area was 186 m², resulting in a price of approximately €4,485 per square metre. These are therefore larger, more expensive homes, presumably detached houses or large semi-detached homes. The number of transactions is limited, meaning supply is scarce and the market is sensitive to outliers. View the current supply and asking prices at the top of this page.
