What does a home in Oirschot cost?
The housing market in Oirschot is strong, with an average purchase price of €726,056 over the past twelve months. The range is wide: from around €250,000 for a modest terraced house to €2,950,000 for a detached villa with plenty of land. In total, 161 homes changed hands. With an average living area of 161 m², you get relatively more space for your money compared to the Randstad, but Oirschot is certainly not cheap. The WOZ value is €461,000, slightly below the municipal average of €465,000 for the whole of Oirschot. That difference is small and shows that the core of Oirschot is representative of the entire municipality.
The vast majority of the housing stock, about 71%, is owner-occupied. Think single-family homes, semi-detached houses and detached houses. Apartments do exist, but form a smaller part of the supply. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Oirschot must therefore be patient. Scroll to the overview at the top of this page for the current supply and asking prices.
Living in Oirschot: Brabant cosiness with a caveat
Oirschot is known as one of the prettier villages in North Brabant, with a historic centre around the Markt, the imposing Sint-Pieterskerk and narrow streets with monumental buildings. On the neighbourhood page of Oirschot, residents give the village an 8.4 out of 10. The scores for safety (9.0) and beauty (9.0) are particularly striking. Residents feel safe here and appreciate the well-maintained appearance of the village.
Yet the picture is not entirely rosy. Resident Gitte, who has lived here her whole life, notes that the sense of community has declined: "In the past, neighbours all knew each other and I was friends with many children from the neighbourhood, but now hardly anyone knows each other and there is little conversation anymore." Longer-term residents recognise this shift. The community score of 8.0 is fine, but the village 'everyone knows everyone' feeling of the past has partly disappeared, especially in the newer expansion neighbourhoods such as Oirschot Noordoost and De Notel.
In terms of amenities, the core has enough for daily shopping. There is an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, both within walking distance of the centre. For more extensive shopping, you drive to Eindhoven or Best. Primary schools such as De Kempenhorst and De Boterbloem are spread across the village, and the education score of 8.5 confirms that parents are satisfied here. Sports club RKSVO (football) and tennis club De Enclaves offer sports facilities, and Heerbeeck College in Best is the nearest secondary school.
Accessibility scores an 8.5 from residents, and that is accurate. Via the N615 you are on the A58 towards Eindhoven or Tilburg in ten minutes. Best station is about a ten-minute drive away and takes you to Eindhoven Central in a quarter of an hour. Bus line 142 connects Oirschot with Best and Eindhoven, although frequency outside peak hours is limited. A car is practically indispensable here. The green character of the area, with the Oirschotse Heide, the Kampina and estate De Mortelen, makes the village particularly attractive for nature lovers. Those who want it even quieter can look at homes in Spoordonk or the villages Middelbeers and Westelbeers. The municipality informs via its website about zoning plans and new-build projects.
Does Oirschot suit you as a buyer?
Families with children form the largest group of households here (1,680), and you notice that in the character of the village: quiet, green, with good schools nearby. Movers looking for space find semi-detached and detached homes here. First-time buyers have a harder time: with an average purchase price above €700,000, buying a home in Oirschot is difficult without substantial equity or a dual-income salary. Also factor in transfer tax (2% for owner-occupation) and notary costs. Overbidding occurs, especially for homes under €500,000. Those looking for more affordable options can also look at rental homes in Oirschot or the supply in Oostelbeers, where prices are generally lower.

I've lived here my whole life. When I was a child, our neighbourhood still had lots of activities, but unfortunately nothing anymore now. At first, all the neighbours knew each other and I was friends with many children from the neighbourhood, but now almost no one knows each other anymore and people hardly talk to each other.
