Real estate market in Avelgem
The property market in Avelgem showed a remarkable evolution in the fourth quarter of 2025. The median price for a property stands at €306,000, with a price range of between €225,000 and €351,000 for the middle half of transactions. Compared to the previous year - when the median price was still €196,000 - this represents an increase of more than 56%. Although the number of transactions is limited, this movement indicates that interest in Avelgem as a residential location is clearly growing. Buyers are willing to pay more for the tranquillity, space, and location that this municipality offers. For sellers, this is a favourable moment to enter the market. The price increase reflects a genuine rise in demand, and those who position their property well can benefit from a pool of buyers actively seeking affordable alternatives to municipalities in the Kortrijk region that have become more expensive. For buyers, it is important to act swiftly and to be well informed, as the limited supply means that well-located properties do not remain on the market for long. Avelgem also includes the sub-municipalities of Kerkhove, Outrijve, and Waarmaarde, each with their own character and housing offer. Whether it is a renovated terraced house in the town centre, a detached property along the Scheldt embankment, or a rural home in Outrijve - the diversity of property types makes Avelgem appealing to a broad audience. A local estate agent with knowledge of these sub-municipalities is therefore indispensable for anyone wishing to achieve the best possible result.
