House prices continue to slide
House prices were down 2.2% in May, compared with May 2009, the national statistics office CBS said on Monday.
House prices were also down 2.2% in April but the drop was larger in the preceding three months, the CBS said.
The price of a detached home fell most at 3.7%, while apartments were down just 1.1% in price. Prices actually rose slightly in Friesland, the CBS said.
So far 49,000 houses have changed hands this year.
The CBS did not give average house prices.
