Jordaan Property Prices 2026: Market Boom Mirrors 2021

Median apartment prices in Jordaan reached €7,850 per square metre in the second quarter of 2026, matching the 48 per cent jump recorded over the same period in the 2021 cycle.

The parallel matters because mortgage rates have fallen back near 2021 levels while inventory remains tight, pushing buyers who sat out last year to re-enter before further increases lock them out.

Street-level activity shows the pattern

Along Elandsgracht, three canal-side apartments sold above asking in June after spending an average of nine days on the market, the same pace seen in listings near Bloemgracht during the spring of 2021. Local agency records from Jordaan Makelaardij show nine of the twelve properties that closed last month carried bids from first-time buyers using the city’s starter-loan program.

Further north on Tweede Ezelstraat, a former warehouse conversion that last changed hands in late 2020 for €625,000 fetched €925,000 last week, a 48 per cent increase that lines up with the gains posted on the same block five years earlier.

Data lines up with 2021 numbers

City transaction logs released on 8 July list 47 Jordaan sales in the first half of 2026, compared with 49 in the first half of 2021. The average time on market stands at eleven days, one day longer than the 2021 figure but still well below the 2024 average of twenty-three days.

Buyers weighing an offer this month should compare current listings directly against 2021 sale prices on the same street rather than relying on city-wide averages, and should secure financing pre-approval before viewing properties listed under €650,000 to avoid missing the next round of bidding rounds.
