The sales draw as elsewhere in the country. The prices of homes sold in the earthquake zone grew last year by 2.4 percent, against 3.4 percent in the surrounding regions.However, the recent recovery in the national housing market in the quake area started later.

Of a large exodus from the earthquake zone is moreover no question, but residents of the earthquake area who are planning to relocate, are willing to leave their town much more frequently than in a 'normal' housing market is common.

The study was commissioned by the National Coordinator of Groningen.
