The property market in Celles is relatively limited in size, which is typical for a municipality of this scale. In the fourth quarter of 2025, 19 house transactions were recorded, with a median sale price of €230,000. This represents an increase of 2.2% compared to the previous year, when the median stood at €225,000. Prices fall within the interquartile range of €200,000 to €330,000, indicating that both entry-level properties and higher-quality family homes come to market. The market is stable and shows a gradual, healthy appreciation in value without the volatility that sometimes characterises larger cities. For buyers, Celles offers the opportunity to acquire a spacious property with a garden - or even a plot of land - at a relatively accessible price, something that is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve in the urban areas of Tournai or Mons. The combination of affordable prices, a rural setting, and proximity to the E42 motorway makes the municipality attractive for families commuting to larger cities. Sellers, in turn, benefit from a market that, although modest in volume, enjoys consistent demand from buyers who consciously choose the Hainaut countryside.
