Local market highlights
Real estate market in Bornem
The property market in Bornem showed a notable movement in the fourth quarter of 2025. The median price for a house stood at €334,000, representing a decline of 9.7% compared to the previous year, when the median was still €370,000. That correction is not necessarily a cause for alarm - it reflects rather a normalisation following a period of strong price increases, and offers buyers today a more realistic entry point than a year ago. Apartments are priced somewhat more accessibly, with a median price of €293,000. The price spectrum for houses ranges from €255,000 in the first quartile to €510,000 in the third quartile, demonstrating that both starter homes and quality family homes are coming onto the market. For sellers, it is important to assess current market conditions realistically. With 59 residential transactions recorded in the measured period, the market is active but not overheated. Correct pricing is, in this climate, more decisive than ever for achieving a smooth sale. Buyers are well informed and compare thoroughly, meaning overvalued properties tend to remain on the market for longer. Bornem has its own railway station with connections towards Antwerp and Brussels, making it attractive for commuters. The proximity of the E17 and A12 motorways further strengthens that accessibility. Those looking for a balance between residential comfort, nature, and good transport links will find in Bornem a market well worth exploring.
