Amsterdam Rental Market 2025: a Unique Moment for Landlords

The Amsterdam rental housing market remains highly dynamic in May 2025. While the purchase market is cooling due to high mortgage rates and economic uncertainties, the demand for rental properties continues to rise sharply. For private landlords, this presents a golden opportunity.

At City Homes, rental specialist in the Amsterdam region, we witness the market dynamics unfold daily. Thanks to our experience and direct access to tenant data, we can optimally advise and support landlords. Whether you're renting out a property for the first time or have years of experience as a private investor – now is the time to take action.

Rental prices continue to rise – good news for landlords

#huurprijzen #verhuurinkomsten #woningverhuren

The numbers don’t lie. Over the past year, the average rent in Amsterdam has increased by no less than 6.8%. Furnished homes and apartments in popular neighborhoods are particularly sought after by expats, young professionals, and temporary tenants.

These price increases show there are plenty of opportunities for landlords – provided you know how to position your property attractively and rent to the right target audience. City Homes supports you in this, from strategy to execution.

New regulations in 2025: how to avoid problems?

#wetgeving #verhuurregels #huurprijs

In 2025, the government tightened the point system for mid-range rentals. As a result, many landlords can no longer freely determine the rental price. Homes that fall between the social and free sector are now more strictly assessed. Misjudging the points can lead to a fine, mandatory rent reduction, or an invalid rental contract.

At City Homes, we take this work off your hands. We ensure compliance with all regulations without sacrificing your returns. What we concretely do for you:

• Official point calculation of your property
• Advice on market-compliant and legally allowed rental prices
• Customized rental contracts in accordance with the new legislation

With our guidance, you can rent legally and safely while maximizing your property’s potential.

Renting starts with the right strategy and target group approach

#verhuurstrategie #expats #huurdersvinden

The Amsterdam rental market is highly diverse. Expats, students, young professionals, and temporary residents each seek different types of housing – and require different presentations. A generic approach doesn’t work. City Homes tailors your rental strategy to your property and the most suitable target group.

We have extensive experience renting to:

• Expats: usually looking for furnished homes in prime locations
• Young professionals: flexible, modern apartments in lively neighborhoods
• Students: compact homes or rooms with good accessibility
• Temporary renters: such as during renovations or interim relocations

With our targeted marketing, English-language listings, and professional photography, we ensure your property stands out to the right audience – both on Funda and international platforms like Pararius and ExpatRentals.

Our data and experience show that demand varies significantly by neighborhood. In May 2025, we’re seeing particularly high demand for properties in:

• Amsterdam-Zuid: Luxury and stability; popular among expats and families
• De Pijp & Oud-West: Creative, vibrant, and highly favored by young professionals
• Amsterdam-Oost: Youthful, cultural, and on the rise
• Amsterdam-Noord: More affordable and surprisingly modern; increasingly attractive to families and young couples

Surrounding areas like Diemen, Amstelveen, and Haarlem are also appealing to landlords. Thanks to strong public transport links and lower living costs, more and more tenants are moving beyond the ring. City Homes is active in all these areas and can advise you locally on rental potential.
