Dutch home prices heading back to record-highs; Up 11% by end 2025: ABN Amro

ABN Amro expects home prices to rise by 6 percent this year and 5 percent next year. That means home prices are quickly rising toward the record level of July 2022. The bank previously expected an increase of 4 percent this year and 3.5 percent next year but adjusted its forecast upward mainly due to higher wages and falling mortgage rates.The increased first-time buyer exemption and National Mortgage Guarantee also played a role, ABN Amro said.
