The median sale price for a house stands at €255,167, representing a decline of 8.9% compared to the previous year when the median was still €280,000.

For flats, the median price is €225,000, positioning Boom as an affordable alternative for those wishing to avoid the high property prices of Antwerp city without compromising on accessibility. For buyers, the current market correction presents a genuine opportunity to enter the market at sharper prices than a year ago. The decline is not attributable to a structural problem with the municipality, but reflects the broader Belgian market cooling following years of price increases. Boom offers a varied housing stock, from terraced houses in the historic centre to new-build flats along the Rupel, making it attractive to a wide audience. Selling owners would do well to price their property realistically in line with current market conditions. Correct pricing from the outset is more decisive than ever in Boom for achieving a smooth sale. A local estate agent with knowledge of the Rupel region can make the difference between a property that sells quickly and one that remains on the market for months.
