Buyer's guide: Alkmaar
Property for sale in Alkmaar combines a historic canal-ringed centre, a famous cheese market and quick trains to Amsterdam. We list 301 properties, 216 of them houses, with a median asking price of €425,000.
The figures below are asking prices from current listings on RealEstateAbroad. Half of the market falls between €342,500 and €549,000.
| Measure | Alkmaar |
|---|---|
| Median asking price | €425,000 |
| Middle half of listings | €342,500 to €549,000 |
| Median price per m² | €4,603 |
| Median living area | 96 m² |
| Listings | 301 |
The mix is 216 houses, 84 apartments and one villa. Two-bedroom homes lead with 79, then 78 four-bedroom, 68 three-bedroom, 45 one-bedroom and 25 with five or more. A median of 96 m² is typical for terraced Dutch housing.
If you buy a flat, ask for the VvE (owners' association) budget and maintenance plan. Check the energy label because it affects mortgage terms and running costs.
Alkmaar has older canal houses in the centre, post-war terraces and newer neighbourhoods such as Overdie and Oudorp-type suburbs. The oldest houses may have wooden foundations or small rooms, so a surveyor's report (bouwkundige keuring) is worthwhile.
Alkmaar is known for its Friday cheese market in summer, its canals and the dunes and beach at nearby Bergen aan Zee. Amsterdam is about 35 minutes by train, which makes the city popular with commuters who want a cheaper, calmer base.
Other places to compare are Bergen, Heiloo, Heerhugowaard, Castricum, Heemskerk and the village of ’t Veld further north.
There are no restrictions on foreign buyers. Transfer tax is 2% for owner-occupiers and 8% for other homes. A notary completes the deed, and bidding often exceeds asking price. Non-resident mortgages are available but depend on Dutch income.

Yes, direct trains reach Amsterdam in roughly 35 minutes, which makes Alkmaar a popular choice for commuters.
Bergen aan Zee and other North Sea beaches are a short drive or cycle away, along with dunes and forest.
2% for a home you live in yourself and 8% for most other homes. Confirm with the notary at the time of purchase.
It is possible, but competitive homes often sell above asking. Look at recent sale prices of similar houses before bidding.
