EVERY HOME IN THE NETHERLANDS. IN ONE PLACE. FOR FREE. Buurtje.nl brings together every home for sale and for rent in the Netherlands: 140,000+ listings from 4,500+ sources, from the big national platforms to the website of your local estate agent. One real-time overview, updated continuously. No paywalls, no hidden costs. Searching is simply free, always. HOUSING IS A RIGHT, NOT A BUSINESS MODEL The housing market is opaque enough as it is. Yet valuable information is often locked behind a paywall, and some sites even charge you just to view a home. We don't think that's fair. That's why everything on Buurtje.nl is free: the full range of listings, all neighbourhood reviews and all the data. So everyone gets a fair shot. DON'T JUST CHOOSE A HOME, CHOOSE A NEIGHBOURHOOD Other apps only show you the home. We show you the neighbourhood too. Read 10,000+ honest reviews from real residents about safety, atmosphere, amenities and more, with scores across eight categories and backed by reliable CBS data. Because a beautiful home in the wrong neighbourhood isn't a good deal. RESPOND FIRST WITH QUICKLANE™ On this market, every second counts. Set your preferences and get a free push notification the moment a matching home goes online. Tap the listing, choose Quicklane™ and our AI instantly writes a personal response letter. You set the tone and length; your mail app opens with everything filled in, ready to send. So you reach the agent before anyone else has even seen the home. EVERYTHING ON THE MAP Skip the endless scrolling. View the latest listings on the map and see at a glance what's for sale or for rent in your favourite areas, including schools and amenities nearby. BUY AND RENT, IN ONE APP Whether you're buying, renting or still deciding: you'll find it here. One app for your entire search. YOU CHOOSE THE SOURCE Is the same home listed on multiple platforms? Easily choose between the local estate agent or the big platforms, for example Funda or Pararius. WHY BUURTJE.NL? - 140,000+ homes for sale and rent from 4,500+ sources - 100% free searching, free push notifications, no paywalls - Neighbourhood reviews from real residents you won't find anywhere else, plus CBS data per area - Quicklane™: a personal response letter in seconds with AI - Buy and rent in one app - Smart searching on the map - Choose for yourself which source you respond through TOGETHER TOWARDS A FAIR HOUSING MARKET We'd rather not profit from the problems on the housing market, we'd rather solve them.
