Real estate market in Affligem
The property market in Affligem remained remarkably stable in the fourth quarter of 2025. The median price for a house stood at €377,500, virtually identical to the previous year (€378,000), representing a decline of just 0.1%. This stability is telling: Affligem is not a market that fluctuates sharply with economic conditions, but rather a municipality where supply and demand are structurally in balance. With 35 registered residential transactions during that period, it is a relatively limited but active market, meaning that correctly priced properties generally find a buyer quickly. For buyers, Affligem is attractive due to its location along the N9 and its proximity to the E40 motorway, providing easy access to Brussels and Ghent. Hekelgem railway station offers a direct connection towards Brussels and Ghent, making the municipality appealing to commuters who nonetheless wish to live in a green environment. The presence of the historic Affligem Abbey also gives the municipality a distinctive and well-regarded character. In the current market, sellers can count on a stable price base, although correct pricing from the outset is essential. The price range runs from €317,000 at the first quartile to €465,000 at the third quartile, indicating that a broad segment is active - from starter homes to more spacious family properties. A local estate agent with knowledge of the sub-municipalities and the specific demand in this region makes all the difference.
