Kampen’s historic core is currently grappling with a severe supply shortage, driving buy prices to a steep €5,500/m² as demand for Hanseatic charm outpaces new inventory. While the 'Stationskwartier' expansion offers some relief, the high cost of renovating monumental structures remains a barrier for mid-market buyers. We are seeing a distinct trend toward luxury waterfront conversions that target affluent commuters from Zwolle. Verdict: A high-prestige, low-inventory market that favors long-term capital appreciation over quick rental yields.
