About HouseGuide

Huiskoopwijzer was born from personal experience. When I was trying to buy my first home in Amsterdam, I got lost in a maze of vague information, opaque rules and websites that were either full of sales pitches or stopped at the surface. The Dutch housing market felt needlessly complicated, especially as a first-time buyer.

That had to change. Huiskoopwijzer started as a side project, but with a clear mission: helping first-time buyers step onto the housing market with more confidence and better preparation. Whether you are looking in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam or anywhere else in the Netherlands, our tools provide accurate, location-specific calculations. No advertising, no vagueness. Just honest explanations and practical insights.

Huiskoopwijzer is free, independent and still growing. Thanks to feedback from first-time buyers across the country, from Amsterdam to Groningen, the site keeps improving. All with one goal: helping more people find their way to a home of their own.
