Realstats is the premier data provider for the private rental sector (vrije sector) in the Netherlands.

In partnership with major real estate associations NVM and VGM NL, Realstats powers the official quarterly reporting on the Dutch private rental market.

Unlike listing portals that track asking prices, Realstats aggregates data on actual realized rental transactions from professional property managers and real estate agents.

This provides a much more accurate picture of true market rents, price per square meter, and tenant turnover rates.

Their data is currently highly sought after to track the impact of the 'Affordable Rent Act' (Wet Betaalbare Huur).

Realstats data clearly quantifies the ongoing trend of 'uitponden' — private investors selling off their rental properties into the owner-occupied market due to increased regulation and taxation, which has led to a dramatic shrinking of available rental supply.
