%X Currently the housing market is a highly debated topic all over the world, the Netherlands is no
exception to this. There is academic research on the characteristics of secondary property
owners or private real estate investors, but little is known about what their presence in the
market has on the transaction values of real estate properties. In this study the influence of the
private real estate investors on the transaction value is investigated, and in particular within a
medium sized student city such as Groningen. Property specific transaction values are analysed
and compared, in addition, an aggregated neighbourhood analysis is done. Findings indicate
that private real estate investors have a big influence on the transaction values of properties, on
average the transaction value of the property is likely to increase by 11% when the property
holds a rental license. Additional factors that influence the transaction value are the
characteristics of the property itself, such as size and location.
