Demand-driven residential housing sounds like nothing special. Yet in 2007 almost no market players were able to build what consumers demanded. There was mismatch, especially supply-driven.

From property scarcity to customer scarcity. And now there is going to be property scarcity again. Unmistakably, scarcity creates the temptation to build too quickly, which in turn creates mismatch.

As an entrepreneur, that hit me. I saw projects stalled and house hunters unable to find suitable new housing. There had to be a smarter and better way. Project optimization, more return on developments had to be possible. By looking intelligently at demand, more return per development is possible. We help with that. When demand is overstretched, we know how to bring the ideal buyer into the picture. And in a weaker market, we show how to build optimally for the available buyers. Return by collecting relevant current data. That's my mission.

After 8 years of Nieuwbouw Nederland (now XITRES) I like to think independently. With new developments in the market I advise boards of builders, developers, corporations and institutional investors to make a real difference in the housing market, with demonstrably higher returns. For both, client and housing consumer!
