What to look out for when buying a home in Rijssen-Holten?

Firstly: look carefully at the difference between Rijssen and Holten. They are two very different cores. Rijssen is larger, has more amenities and a stronger sense of community linked to local culture. Holten is smaller, greener and somewhat more expensive per square metre. Visit both cores before deciding.

Secondly: the market is not very spacious. With 108 sales in the past year and an average price of nearly half a million euros, it is wise to have your financing arranged in advance. Overbidding occurs, especially for popular single-family homes in the urban fringes. A buying agent with local knowledge can make a difference.

Thirdly: accessibility varies by neighbourhood. Holten has its own train station, Rijssen does not. From Rijssen, you are quickly onto the A1 and A35. Check your daily route before buying. And don't forget to check the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl. What residents say about a neighbourhood, you won't find so concretely anywhere else. Prefer to be flexible?
