While rents fell mainly in the large cities in the second quarter, this continued in the third quarter in medium-sized cities. For example, there was a decrease in large cities such as Amsterdam (-5.9 percent), The Hague (-1.5 percent), Utrecht (-2.9 percent) and Eindhoven (-7.1 percent), and medium-sized cities such as Amstelveen (-7.8 percent), Haarlem (-7.1 percent), Bussum (-8.5 percent), Hoofddorp (-10.3 percent), Leiden (-5.8 percent) and Enschede (-3 percent ).
There are also places where the average rent did increase. These include Rotterdam (+0.6 percent), Tilburg (+4.9 percent), Nijmegen (+8.4 percent), Deventer (+4.5 percent), Leeuwaren (+6.3 percent) and Almere (+6.2 percent).
Amsterdam is still by far the most expensive city to rent. New tenants pay an average of 22.09 euros per square meter, about 6.5 euros above the national average. That was 16.56 euros per square meter in the third quarter.
