Two homes from the M’dam Pierebaan project now for sale
Two more homes are now available for purchase in the wooden residential building M’dam. The Waterland municipality has acquired these homes to ensure they remain affordable. These are social purchase homes priced at €272,000, including a parking space.
Homes affordable for first-time buyers and those moving up
The municipality is actively working to keep these homes affordable for first-time buyers and those moving up in the housing market. Therefore, residents who vacate a social rental home in Waterland will be given priority. First-time buyers on the purchase market will also receive priority.
There are rules attached to these homes. For example, you must live in the home yourself (owner-occupancy requirement), and you may not sell the home for a profit within the first 15 years (anti-speculation clause). Your gross annual income may not exceed €70,149, or €93,531 if combined.
