What does a home in Ommen cost?
The housing market in Ommen is predominantly a buyer's market: 67% of the more than 5,700 homes are owner-occupied, compared to 33% rented. The average WOZ value is €359,000, which is notably slightly below the municipal average of €388,000. This difference is because the municipality of Ommen also includes more expensive rural areas with detached farmhouses and country estates. In the past twelve months, 84 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €545,732. The range is substantial: from €175,000 for a compact apartment to €1,295,000 for the largest detached homes. The average floor area is 133 m².

Living in Ommen: Vecht valley atmosphere between nature and neighbourliness
Ommen is a place where you truly experience the seasons. In summer, the centre fills with visitors, the terraces along the Vecht are packed, and events like the Bissingh Markt attract people from afar. In winter, it is much quieter, and that is exactly what many residents appreciate. On the neighbourhood page of Ommen, residents give it an 8.5 out of 10. The scores for beauty (9.2) and accessibility (9.0) stand out in particular. Resident Ruben Willems even gives a 10 and writes: "I live here nice and quietly, and there is no nuisance. Furthermore, I am quickly in the centre, which is also a big advantage." Thom Mensen calls it a "nice village community" with "many activities within walking distance" and a "bustling" summer centre.
In terms of amenities, Ommen has a lot to offer for a place of 13,300 inhabitants. There are several supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Aldi), a compact shopping centre around the Markt and various specialist shops. Schools are well represented: primary schools such as De Dennenkamp and Het Mozaïek, and for secondary education there is the Vechtdal College. Sports enthusiasts will find their place at sports park Westbroek or the tennis club, and swimming pool De Olde Kamp is within cycling distance. In the immediate vicinity, the Ommerbos and the banks of the Vecht offer kilometres of walking and cycling routes. Those looking for a home in the heart of the village can look at the centre, while the newer neighbourhoods around Dante Noord and Vlierlanden offer more recent family homes.
Accessibility is good for an Overijssel rural municipality. Ommen has its own train station on the Zwolle-Emmen line, with which you can be at Zwolle Centraal in about 25 minutes. By car, you are quickly on the A28 towards Zwolle or Amersfoort via the N36 and N34. Yet not everyone is entirely positive. Resident Bertus Lubbelinkhof points to the crowds around the Action, parking nuisance at apartments and broken night lighting for four years. The community score of 7.9 is therefore the lowest sub-score: neighbourliness exists, but not equally strong everywhere. More information about municipal plans and public space can be found on the website of the municipality of Ommen.
For which buyers is Ommen a good choice?
With an average purchase price of over €545,000, buying a home in Ommen is no longer a bargain, but the range offers room. First-time buyers with a budget around €175,000 to €250,000 can look at smaller apartments, although the supply is limited and you need to act quickly. If you want to buy an apartment in Ommen, keep in mind VvE contributions on top of the purchase price. Families with children will find spacious single-family homes in the neighbourhoods Laarakkers and Alteveer. Seniors often opt for ground-floor options closer to the centre. Don't forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2%), notary and valuation costs quickly add up to 5% of the purchase price. Is buying (not yet) feasible?

Since Action came here, it hasn't become any nicer. Sometimes you can't park your car near your own apartment. And the street lighting still hasn't been repaired, for 4 years now. I have more negative points but I'll leave it at that! If I get the chance, I won't stay here!!!

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, with lots of greenery and happy residents. With a bike you can get everywhere and you won't miss a thing. It feels safe, it's clean, and there's always something to do. And you're at the train station within 10 minutes.

Auto-translated to English by AICosy in summer, less cosy in winter
Auto-translated to English by AIThere's a cosy, relaxed atmosphere on our street. We're always welcome at each other's birthday parties and enjoy celebrating together, for example at New Year's or the annual neighbourhood BBQ. When we drive down the street, we always wave friendly to each other. In the neighbourhood, it's noticeable that it's always clean and tidy. I've had little experience with criminal activities. However, my mother's bike was stolen from the driveway a few years ago. So just lock it to be safe ;). That was about 10 years ago now. The distance to the city centre is about 2 km. Perfectly doable by bike if you want to have a drink in town. From our window, you look directly onto the Ommerbos. It's a great place to get some fresh air on a walk. You can live here just fine!
