Local market highlights
Real estate market in Diest
The property market in Diest shows a notable movement in the fourth quarter of 2025. The median price for houses stands at €260,000, representing a decline of 20% compared to the previous year, when the median was still €325,000. This is a significant correction that offers buyers opportunities, but also raises questions about the underlying market dynamics. With 36 registered house transactions during this period, the volume remains limited, meaning that individual transactions can have a considerable influence on the averages. Apartments are recording a median price of €245,000, which is relatively close to the house price and reflects the limited price differentiation in this market. For sellers, it is important to set realistic price expectations and to be well guided by an estate agent with local knowledge. The price decline makes an accurate valuation even more important than before. Buyers, on the other hand, find themselves in a more favourable negotiating position than a year ago, although the quality of the available properties in Diest generally remains solid. Diest benefits from good accessibility via the N2 and the proximity of the E314, making both Leuven and Hasselt easily reachable. This makes the town attractive for dual-income households who work in one of the two city centres but consciously choose a quieter living environment with more space for their budget.
