The property market in Brunehaut shows an interesting evolution in the fourth quarter of 2025. The median sale price for residential properties stands at €192,000, representing a decline of 8.6% compared to the previous year, when the median was €210,000. With only 26 registered transactions, this is a relatively thin market, meaning that individual sales can have a significant impact on the statistics. Buyers looking for an affordable home in a green setting will find genuine opportunities here, particularly when compared to prices in Tournai or the Brussels periphery. For sellers, it is important to take into account the limited demand and the downward price pressure that is currently visible. Correct pricing from the outset is decisive in a market such as Brunehaut - overpriced properties remain on the market longer here than in larger cities. The price range between the first and third quartile runs from €145,000 to €283,000, indicating a broad supply, from simple rural homes to more finished family houses. The proximity of Tournai, barely ten kilometres away, and the connections towards Lille on the French side make Brunehaut attractive for cross-border workers and families seeking space without being completely isolated. Those willing to engage a local estate agent with knowledge of this specific market are best placed - both when buying and when selling.
