Who buys near the centre and in Nijmegen-Oost?
Bottendaal, just east of the railway line to Venlo, is popular with first-time buyers and people who want to live close to the centre. Its northern part belongs to the nineteenth-century ring around the centre, with wide streets and squares, grand houses on the main roads and smaller workers' homes in between. After the war many of those houses were divided for students and workers, so what you sell here can be a whole house or a single floor. Buyers tend to be couples and young families who want to walk to the centre and the station, and people who work at the university or one of the hospitals. They look closely at the layout of each floor and at what has been done to the foundations and insulation of an old house.
Hengstdal, on the push moraine east of the centre, shows how much one district can vary. The oldest complex, on the Bergansiusstraat, dates from 1909, while Limos was built around 2000 on the grounds of former barracks. A buyer for an art nouveau house wants to hear about its history and its condition, a buyer in Limos asks about the layout and the outdoor space.

What do buyers look for in Dukenburg, Lindenholt and Brakkenstein?
Dukenburg was built from 1966 onwards with a plan that put low-rise housing and green space first. Lindenholt lies to the north, across the Maas-Waalkanaal. Most buyers here are households looking for a family home with a garden at a lower price than near the centre, and they want to know how far it is to a school, to Winkelcentrum Dukenburg and to station Nijmegen Dukenburg. Brakkenstein draws another kind of buyer: people who want to live close to the campus at Heyendaal, where the university has been based since around 1970.
And who buys north of the Waal?
In Lent and the rest of Nijmegen-Noord most homes were built after the late 1990s. Buyers there compare your house directly with new-build projects nearby, so its condition alone does not set it apart. We show what you added after delivery, such as a finished garden or a converted attic. Station Nijmegen Lent and the Snelbinder cycle bridge into town are points we mention for buyers who commute or study south of the river.
What do you need to arrange when you sell in the Netherlands?
Before you sell, you need a valid energy label for the home. It tells the buyer how energy-efficient the house is on a scale from A++++ to G, and a label remains valid for ten years. We then list the home on Funda. Buyers make their offers to us as your agent, and you decide whether to accept, reject or counter; sometimes we hold a bidding round with a deadline. Once you agree, the purchase agreement is put in writing, usually drawn up by us. The buyer then has a cooling-off period (bedenktijd) of at least three days. Prices are normally k.k. (kosten koper), which means the buyer pays the transfer costs. Ownership passes at the notary, who in practice is chosen by the buyer.
How does 365 Makelaars sell your home in Nijmegen?
We start with a visit and look at sales of similar homes as close to yours as possible, because in Nijmegen two streets in one district can be separate markets. With you we agree the asking price and the buyer we are aiming at. Then we arrange photos and a floor plan and write a listing text that speaks to that buyer: walking distance to the Waalkade for a flat near the centre, a quiet street and a school nearby for a house in Dukenburg. We plan and lead the viewings, also in the evening and at weekends, so people with day jobs can come. When offers arrive, we negotiate for you and keep you up to date on each one. We draw up the purchase agreement and stay involved up to the final inspection and the notary. Every conversation can be in English, while the contracts themselves are in Dutch.

What does it cost to sell my house in Nijmegen?
Our fee is 1.5% of the sale price. You also need a valid energy label if you do not have one yet. In the first meeting we go through the costs for your home, so you know what to expect before you decide to sell with us.
Do you also sell flats in Nijmegen?
Yes. A flat near the centre or a floor in a divided townhouse gets the same attention as a family home. For a flat we also collect the documents of the owners' association (VvE), because buyers ask for them early on.
Should I sell first or buy first?
That depends on your financial position. KFD Woonadvies, the mortgage adviser at our address, can work out with you what buying before your sale would mean. We then plan the sale of your current home around that outcome.
How do you decide on the asking price in Nijmegen?
We compare your home with recent sales of the same type and condition, as close by as possible. A house in Hengstdal is not compared with one in Lindenholt. You hear how we arrive at the price, and the final choice is yours.
Do I need to renovate before selling?
Usually not. Small maintenance such as painting and repairs helps the first impression. Large works rarely pay off just before a sale, and many buyers prefer to choose their own kitchen or bathroom. We tell you what is worth doing in your house.
