On a national scale the concern grows among Dutch house buyers/renters on the emergence of foreign investors and the increasing amount of FDI in Real Estate (FDIRE). The Netherlands is one of the largest recipients of FDI in Europe and has recently overtaken the UK as the first destination for FDI in Europe. Previous research has highlighted differences in pricing between investors. However in the literature there is no academic consensus on the relation between FDIRE and house price appreciation. Gholipour et al. (2014) did not find evidence between FDI and house price appreciation on a national scale level, Guest and Rohde (2017) did find a relationship between house price appreciation and FDIRE on a municipal scale level. Therefore this paper studies the relationship between house prices and the nationality of the investor in the Dutch Real Estate market, within the Randstad, with a multiple linear regression model. The results of the models indicate that there is a positive significant effect between transaction prices per square meter and the nationality of the investor in the Randstad on the residential market. However this study shows that this only applies to foreign investors buying assets and not to foreign investors selling. date: 2022 pages: 29 thesis_type: master degree_programme: VG tutors_name: Nozeman, E.F. tutors_organization: Fac.
