The housing market in Borne: what you need to know
Borne has been an attractive place to live for years, but the housing market has shifted considerably recently. If you're thinking of buying a home in Borne, it pays to know what's going on.
- Average sale price in 2025: approximately € 454,000. That's an increase of over 10% compared to 2024. The national average was around € 480,000, making Borne slightly more affordable — but the municipality's growing popularity is clearly reflected in the numbers.
- Average official property value (WOZ) in 2026: € 440,000. An increase of 11.7% compared to the previous year, putting Borne almost exactly in line with the national average of € 439,000.
- Over 70% owner-occupied homes. Borne is a true owner-occupier municipality. The vast majority of the housing stock consists of ground-level homes: terraced houses, semi-detached and detached properties. Ideal for families looking for space and stability.
- Clear differences between neighbourhoods. In postcode areas 7621, 7623 and 7625, around 80% of homes are owner-occupied. In postcode area 7622, the split between owned and rented is roughly equal. Which part of Borne suits you best? We'd love to talk it through.
First-time buyer in Borne? You can borrow up to € 40,000 extra
Borne participates in the Dutch Starter's Loan scheme. This is additional financing on top of your regular mortgage, specifically designed to bridge the gap between the purchase price and the maximum amount you can borrow based on your income.
The maximum Starter's Loan in Borne is € 40,000 — up to 20% of the purchase price or property value. In the first few years, you pay no interest and no repayments, which keeps your monthly costs much more manageable.
Whether you qualify depends on your income, the purchase price and the available budget within the municipality. We check everything for you, so you make the most of every option available.
Borne is growing: new builds and opportunities for buyers
In September 2025, Borne reached a population of 25,000. The municipality aims to grow to at least 30,000 residents and is investing heavily in new homes and amenities. That creates opportunities, even if you're still in the early stages of your search.
De Bornsche Maten
Borne's newest residential area could eventually grow to around 3,200 homes. The range is varied: from terraced houses to detached new-build properties. A new-build mortgage requires specific advice, as you start paying interest on the drawn funds during the construction phase.

On this former industrial site, 213 new homes are planned, divided across social housing, affordable owner-occupied and private sector properties. This means Borne also offers opportunities for first-time buyers and middle-income households.
