In The Netherlands, house prices are indeed expensive. Likewise parking spaces, the price is expensive due to limited space. However, an advertisement for the sale of an indoor parking area of 18 square meters has raised eyebrows.
The parking space was offered at a price of 495,000 euros, equivalent to around IDR 8.5 billion. Its value is higher compared to the average house price in the Netherlands.
After investigating, according to the Dutch property site, funda.nl, the parking lot is located in a premium area. It is located on PC Hooftstraat, next to the famous Vondelpark in Amsterdam. The parking lot is also very close to major tourist attractions, such as the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum.
"We offer parking spaces for sale or rent on the most famous and exclusive shopping street in the Netherlands," reads the advertisement.

A news program on Dutch television, RTL Nieuws, was the first to report the story, referring to it as the "most expensive parking lot in the Netherlands." In reality, hundreds of parking lots are being sold in the Netherlands. "But this special price has surprised people," it said, quoted by the AFP news agency on Thursday (5/2/2024).
The advertisement also mentioned that for those willing to spend a very large amount of money, the 18 square meter enclosed space is suitable for wide-bodied cars. "There is enough room for the driver and passengers to get out," the advertisement stated.
Although offered for sale, the parking lot can also be rented for €750 (IDR 12.9 million) per month. Jeel Heule, a property agent selling the parking space, told RTL Nieuws that he disagrees with the offered price being too high. He argues that there is a lack of parking spaces in the area. "For the community in this neighborhood, buying a parking space offers a solution," he said.
According to a study, the Netherlands is considered one of the most densely populated countries in Europe with a population of 17.8 million. With that status, the Netherlands faces a housing shortage of up to 390,000 units.
The average house price in the Netherlands was 430,000 euros (Rp 7.4 billion) last year. Someone with an average national wage would not be able to afford a house in Amsterdam. (AFP)
