Buying a house in Tilburg: the housing market in 2026
With nearly 230,000 residents, Tilburg is the sixth-largest city in the Netherlands and the beating heart of Central Brabant. Over the past decades, the city has transformed from a textile town into a vibrant knowledge city with Tilburg University, Fontys University of Applied Sciences, and a growing creative sector around the Spoorzone and LocHal. Its location on the A58 and A65 motorways, plus direct train connections to Breda, Eindhoven and The Hague, makes Tilburg attractive for commuters. The housing stock comprises over 105,000 homes, exactly half of which are owner-occupied. The average WOZ value is €314,000, while the average selling price over the past twelve months was €492,003. The range is wide: from around €100,000 for a compact apartment to over €2,100,000 for a detached house in the most sought-after neighbourhoods. The market in Tilburg is tight. Homes sell quickly and overbidding is more the rule than the exception, especially for family homes. At the top of this page you will find the current listings and the most recent market figures. Buurtje.nl aggregates homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the house but also the neighbourhood.

What to look out for when buying a home in Tilburg?
First: look beyond just the house. The differences between districts in Tilburg are large. A terraced house in Bouwmeester and a similar home in Berkel-Enschot can differ by tens of thousands of euros, but the neighbourhood experience also varies enormously. Compare the neighbourhood scores before planning a viewing. Second: be prepared for overbidding. The Tilburg market is tight, especially for homes between €250,000 and €450,000. Make sure your financing is in order before you start looking, and engage a local buying agent who knows the market. Third: check the accessibility from the district. Tilburg has two train stations (Centraal and Universiteit), but bus connections vary greatly by neighbourhood. If you rely on public transport, that can influence your district choice. Finally: use neighbourhood data in your decision. On Buurtje.nl you can see per district how residents rate safety, greenery and amenities, so you can make an informed decision.
