In unstable economies people will hold on to what they've got and not make large investments. Since the fall of the cabinet in March the number of houses for sale has climbed while the prices took a dive. This can be seen in the statistics on the Dutch site Huizenzoeker (which means Home Finder).

Only very recently the cabinet was formed and since then Realtors have been positive on the response of the market. More houses are being sold and the turnover seems also to be shortening. However it is too early to say what the full affect will be, but we can project that the prices and availability will level with the amounts in March of this year, and hopefully improve even from that level.
