The figures for Q4 2025 confirm this interest. The median price for a property in Berlaar stands at €325,000, an increase of 8.3% compared to the previous year when the median was €300,000. With 34 registered transactions during the measurement period, the market is relatively limited in size, meaning that well-located and well-maintained properties quickly attract interested buyers. The price range between the first and third quartile runs from €238,000 to €459,000, indicating that both starter homes and quality family homes are coming onto the market. For buyers, Berlaar is appealing due to its green surroundings, the presence of primary schools and local amenities, and the convenient connections via the N14 towards Lier and the E313 motorway. The municipality consists of the sub-municipalities of Berlaar and Gestel, each with its own village centre and character. Those looking for a semi-detached or detached property with a garden will find more choice here than in the more urbanised neighbouring municipalities. For sellers, the market evolution is encouraging. The price increase of over 8% on an annual basis demonstrates that demand exceeds supply. Nevertheless, realistic pricing remains essential: the limited transaction volumes mean that a property priced too high may remain on the market for longer. A local estate agent with knowledge of the Berlaar market can make the difference between a smooth sale and a protracted process.
