End-of-terrace houses in Raalte are scarce and sell quickly. Here you can read what you need to know before you search, bid, or view.
Raalte and corner houses: what you'll find here
Raalte is not a city where you buy a house anonymously. It is a municipality in Overijssel with a distinct character: quiet, green, and with a housing market that is relatively stable but certainly not spacious. Corner houses are scarce here, and when they become available, they sell quickly. The supply mainly consists of terraced corner houses from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional new-build projects in the expansion neighbourhoods. For those seeking space, an extra side window, and a larger garden without having to go for a detached house, buying a corner house in Raalte is a logical step. Check the overview at the top of this page for the current supply.
This segment falls in the upper middle segment. That is not surprising: corner houses always command a premium over mid-terrace houses, and Raalte follows this national trend. View all homes for sale in Raalte for a complete picture of the current price level.
What you really need to know before you make an offer
Corner houses have specific points of attention that you won't encounter with a mid-terrace house. Keep the following in mind:
- Boundary and easements. Corner houses border public land or a side street. Check the deed for any easements, such as a right of way for neighbours or the municipality.
- Side wall and maintenance. A detached side wall is more exposed to wind and rain. Have a structural survey carried out, specifically focusing on the side wall, roof edge, and any attached shed.
- Parking on own land. Many corner houses in Raalte have space for a driveway on the side. Check whether the driveway has been permitted and whether the municipality will allow future driveways if one does not yet exist.
- Speed of response. Corner houses attract more interested parties than mid-terrace houses. Viewings are often scheduled within one day of listing. Make sure your financing is in order in advance.
- Mortgage and floor area. If the house is smaller than 40 m², banks are stricter. This rarely plays a role with corner houses in Raalte, but do check it with compact 1970s houses.
- Side garden zoning. Check the zoning plan for the side strip. Sometimes there is a building ban or restrictions on fences and canopies.
- Set up push notifications. Set up a search via the free Buurtje.nl app in the App Store or via Google Play. The app is free and sends you a push notification as soon as a new corner house becomes available in Raalte. This way you'll be there before those who only search periodically.
Price level and what determines the price
Corner houses in Raalte fall into the upper middle segment. The exact asking prices vary per quarter. See the overview at the top of this page for current figures.
Factors that push the price up or down:
- Location on a through road (negative) or on a quiet residential street (positive).
- Presence of a garage or carport on the side.
- Energy label. Older corner houses often score lower here due to the extra external wall.
- Condition of the side wall and roof. These are the first points a surveyor considers.
- Size of the side strip. A wide side strip with expansion possibilities clearly adds value.

Neighbourhoods in Raalte: where to look?
Raalte has a limited number of neighbourhoods with owner-occupied homes. Two locations are relevant for those considering buying a corner house:
- Luttenberg (resident score 7.6/10). A small village within the municipality of Raalte, with a quiet and rural atmosphere. Corner houses are less common here, but when available, they are often detached or semi-detached houses with plenty of land. Suitable for those who really want to live outside the centre.
- Raalte (centre) (resident score 4.9/10). The main centre of the municipality. More supply, more turnover, but also a lower resident score. Corner houses here are mainly in the expansion neighbourhoods around the centre. Practical in terms of amenities, but less highly rated by residents themselves.

Didn't find what you were looking for? Also consider Enschede
The supply of corner houses in Raalte is limited. If you are flexible on location, it is worth looking at the region as well. Corner houses in Enschede offer a wider supply in a more urban environment, with more variation in construction year, type, and price range. Enschede is about a 40-minute drive from Raalte and has its own housing market dynamics that can sometimes be more favourable for buyers.
Frequently asked questions
What determines the price of a corner house in Raalte?
Corner houses in Raalte fall into the higher mid-range segment. The price is mainly determined by the location (quiet street or main road), the energy label, the condition of the side facade, and the presence of a driveway or garage. Current asking prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
How can I quickly find a new corner house in Raalte?
Corner houses rarely become available and are sold quickly. Download the free Buurtje.nl app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The app is free and will send you a push notification as soon as new listings become available in Raalte. This way, you can respond faster than those who only search periodically.
Are there legal points to consider when buying a corner house?
Yes. When buying a corner house, always check the deed for easements, such as a right of way for neighbours or the municipality along the side strip. Also check the zoning plan for the side strip: sometimes there are building restrictions for fences, canopies, or extensions. A notary or buying agent can investigate this for you.
Which neighbourhoods in Raalte are suitable for a corner house?
The two most relevant locations are Luttenberg (resident score 7.6/10), a quiet and rural village within the municipality, and the town centre of Raalte (resident score 4.9/10), which is more practical in terms of amenities but scores lower on resident satisfaction. Check the neighbourhood pages for more details on atmosphere and facilities.
Is parking a problem with a corner house in Raalte?
Many corner houses in Raalte have space for a driveway on the side. However, check whether the driveway has a permit and whether the municipality allows future driveways if one is not yet present. In the centre of Raalte, street parking is generally well organised, but having your own driveway offers more certainty.
Nice quiet residential area
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is positive. It has a large forest where I enjoy walking my dog. In terms of amenities, it's also fine, but for certain errands you have to travel a bit further. As for public transport: there is improvement, as a neighbourhood bus does run, but the train in Raalte is very expensive and sometimes doesn't run... The train is operated by Blauwnet, so if I buy a youth day ticket, I also have to buy an extra Blauwnet ticket to travel; all in all, a day trip by train becomes very pricey.
