Terraced houses for sale in Veendam
Mid-terrace houses in Veendam are the most sought-after type of home in the municipality. Check the current supply and discover which neighbourhoods score the best.
Veendam has a stable market, but terraced houses sell quickly
Veendam is not a city where homes stay on the market for months. The housing market here is balanced compared to the big cities, but that doesn't mean you can wait around. Terraced houses are the most common type in the municipality, and that also makes them the most in demand. Serious buyers need to act fast.
The supply largely consists of post-war terraced houses, with occasional new-build projects or renovated examples. Terraced houses in Veendam are relatively affordable compared to the Randstad or even the city of Groningen, but competition for available properties is noticeable. Check the current overview at the top of this page for the most recent homes.
Who is this type suitable for? First-time buyers who don't choose an apartment, movers who want a garden but don't have a large budget for a detached house, and people returning to the Oost-Groningen region. Terraced houses in Veendam are also popular among those who want to live away from the hustle and bustle of the city of Groningen but still want their own place.
What to look out for with a terraced house in Veendam
- Check cavity wall insulation. Many terraced houses in Veendam were built between the 1950s and 1980s. Cavity walls are present but not always filled. Always ask for the energy label and have a structural survey carried out.
- Assess the ground situation. The Groningen peat colonies have a specific soil composition. Settlement and moisture in crawl spaces are not uncommon. Have a survey done that explicitly addresses this.
- Boundaries and fences. With terraced houses, boundaries and shared fences are a common source of neighbour disputes. Check the cadastral plot and ask who owns which fence.
- HOA obligations are rare here, but not absent. Check whether there is a deed of division or a contribution obligation for a shared facility, even if the house is offered as a "standard terraced house".
- Response speed is crucial. Don't wait until the weekend to schedule a viewing. Popular terraced houses in Veendam sometimes have multiple viewings within 48 hours of listing.
- Enable push notifications. Via the free App Store or Google Play you can download the Buurtje.nl app. You will receive an immediate notification as soon as a new terraced house becomes available. The app is free.
- Have your financing in order. Make sure you have a mortgage certificate before scheduling viewings. Sellers in Veendam are increasingly working with short bidding periods.
What determines the price of a terraced house here?
Terraced houses in Veendam fall into the mid-segment. The price is determined by a combination of factors you also see elsewhere, but in Veendam a few specific points are relevant.
The energy label plays a major role. A home with label A or B commands a clear premium over a comparable home with label E or F. Given the age of many terraced houses in the municipality, this is a distinguishing factor.
Location within the municipality also matters. Homes close to the centre of Veendam or with a good connection to the A7 are valued higher. The presence of a south-facing back garden or a garage is a clear price influencer in this segment.

Is parking a problem with terraced houses in Veendam?

Unfortunately, more and more shops are disappearing and being replaced by eateries. Since a gym opened here, it attracts a lot of riffraff; the gym is open 24/7. Lots of fast-riding fatbikes, even in the pedestrian area. The municipality is very green and there is a nice walking park.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a 30 km/h zone but it's like a motorway sometimes in the evenings. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood to live in, nothing wrong with it, but many single people in a single-family home, which I think doesn't match the housing construction, while there are plenty of people with children looking for a home.
