1. What is the average price per square metre in Groningen?
For each of the 29 listings, we divided the asking price by the size in m². The median is the middle value of those 29 prices per m². Half of the listings ask more, half ask less.
This figure comes from the listings on this site. It is not a sale price. An asking price is the price the seller asks. A sale price is the price actually paid and registered. The two can differ, because of negotiation, or because a bid comes in above or below the asking price.
Read this figure with caution: the sample is small, 29 listings, so one or a few expensive or cheap listings can move the median. It describes only this site's listings on 2 November 2026, not the whole Groningen housing market. For one street or neighbourhood, it says little; compare several recent listings for comparable homes.
This figure is also different from the official price index. CBS (Statistics Netherlands) and the Kadaster measure the price development of existing owner-occupied homes from registered deeds of sale. That is an index of changes in sale prices, not a median of asking prices per m². The two measures complement each other. Neither replaces the other.
As context, not as a replacement: in the third quarter of 2025, CBS reported that existing owner-occupied homes in the province of Groningen were 10.9 percent more expensive than a year earlier. That is the province, not the city alone, and sale prices, not asking prices, so it is no evidence for a direction of this median.
This site does not verify whether listings are genuine, whether photos are accurate, who the seller is, or whether a home's price or availability is still current. A listing can expire, sell, or change after publication. Check a home yourself before making a decision.
3. Direction over time
Not enough history yet to show a direction.
We publish no trend, because we have no stable series of this site's medians from which to say whether it is rising, falling, or stable. A trend from one measurement point, 2 November 2026, would be a guess.
When a monthly series from this site exists, this section will give the median month by month, with the number of listings each month, and will state clearly in which months the number is too small to read on its own.
4. What should a buyer check before buying in Groningen?
These points are general checks. They do not replace advice from a buying agent or a notary, and they do not guarantee that a particular home is problem-free.
No figure here is a promise of return, value growth, or rentability. This report describes asking prices, on one date, in a small sample, and predicts no future prices.
- **Consider a buying agent (aankoopmakelaar).** In the Netherlands, the selling agent works for the seller. A buying agent works for the buyer, helps assess comparable sales, and helps with the bid. A buying agent is not required, but without your own agent you negotiate yourself against the seller's agent.
- **Read the purchase agreement (koopovereenkomst) in full.** The purchase agreement is the written contract with the price and conditions. Although it is sometimes called provisional, it becomes binding after the cooling-off period, subject to the resolutive conditions written into it, such as financing or a building inspection. Read which conditions are in it and until when they apply.
- **Mind the cooling-off period (bedenktijd).** After signing, a buyer who is a consumer has a statutory cooling-off period of three days, in which he or she can withdraw without giving a reason and without penalty.
- **Deposit or bank guarantee.** The buyer usually provides a deposit or bank guarantee in favour of the notary.
- **The notary and the Kadaster.** Transfer takes place at the notary, with a transfer deed (leveringsakte) and, if there is a mortgage, a mortgage deed (hypotheekakte). The notary registers the transfer in the Kadaster. Check with the notary who the owner is and which charges rest on the home.
- **Compare, view, inspect.** View the home, compare its size and description with the listing and the documents, and consider a building inspection. A listing does not replace a viewing.
