Homes for sale in Onna, Steenwijkerland

House prices in Onna: well above the municipal average

Onna is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 129 homes, no less than 88% are in the owner-occupied segment, while only 12% are rented out. The average WOZ value is €409,000, which is significantly higher than the municipal average of €309,000 for Steenwijkerland. That difference of over a hundred thousand euros says something about the type of housing stock: Onna has relatively many detached and spacious single-family homes, no apartment blocks or compact city flats. Over the past twelve months, three owner-occupied homes were sold with an average selling price of €523,000, with a range from €475,000 to €595,000 at an average living area of 103 m². For the current supply and the average asking price at this moment, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Buying an apartment in Onna is hardly an option in practice: the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes. Anyone looking for an owner-occupied home in Onna faces a limited market and prices that are clearly above the regional average. This requires realistic preparation.

Living in Onna: small village with open landscape and short lines

Onna is a small village in the municipality of Steenwijkerland with about 320 inhabitants. Its character is rural and quiet, with a population that largely consists of people between 45 and 65 years old. There are families with children, but most households live there without children. That tells you something about the atmosphere: it is not a busy family village, but a place where peace and space prevail. On the neighbourhood page of Onna you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data that further colour this picture. Residents particularly appreciate the peace, the space around the homes and the sense of clarity that a small village offers. A frequently heard point of criticism is the limited level of facilities in the village itself: for daily groceries, a GP or a primary school, you have to rely on nearby places.

For facilities, you are directed to Steenwijk, a few kilometres away. There you will find supermarkets, secondary schools, a station and a wide range of shops. Steenwijk has a train station on the Zwolle-Leeuwarden line, which provides good connections to larger cities such as Zwolle (about 35 minutes) and Meppel. By car, Onna is reasonably accessible via the N334 and N375, although the connection to a motorway is not immediately around the corner. Bus connections are limited, which means that a car is not a luxury but a necessity for most residents. The Buitengebied Onna borders directly on the village and offers even more space and greenery for those who consciously choose a rural living environment.

Being sportively active is possible in the region through clubs in Steenwijk and surrounding villages. The surrounding landscape, with water, meadows and nature, makes Onna attractive for people who cycle, walk or sail. Similar villages in the municipality are Oldemarkt, Blankenham and Kalenberg, each with their own character but the same rural atmosphere. Those who want to combine more urban facilities with a village living environment can also consider Steenwijk as an alternative. More information about living and policy in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Steenwijkerland.

For whom is buying in Onna a good choice?

Living in Onna mainly attracts people who consciously choose peace and space, and who are not dependent on facilities within walking distance. Movers and over-50s with their own car fit well in this village. First-time buyers will find the threshold high: with an average selling price of €523,000 and a limited supply, buying a house in Onna is financially challenging. In addition to the purchase price, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary costs and possible renovation costs for older homes. Those who are still unsure whether the owner-occupied market suits their situation can also look at the rental homes in Onna as an alternative.
