Woerden has transitioned from a quiet commuter town into a premium residential stronghold, capitalising on its strategic position between Utrecht and Rotterdam. The market is currently defined by a severe supply squeeze in the historic center, though the 'Waterrijk' expansion has provided some necessary inventory for the mid-to-high-end segment. With average buy prices hitting €6450/m², the city is no longer a 'budget' alternative but rather a first-choice destination for affluent professionals seeking the 'Green Heart' lifestyle. Verdict: A low-risk, high-stability market that rewards long-term hold strategies over quick flips.
