The property market in Dilbeek reflects that appeal. According to the most recent figures (Q4 2025), the median price for a house stands at €422,000, with a price range between €360,000 and €480,000 for the middle half of transactions. This represents a notable decline compared to the previous year, when the median price was still €447,500 - a correction of 5.7%. For buyers, this offers an interesting entry point, whilst sellers must adjust their price expectations realistically. Apartments are more accessibly priced, with a median price of €291,500, making this segment equally interesting for first-time buyers or investors. Dilbeek comprises several sub-municipalities, each with its own character, ranging from the more urbanised centre to quieter, rural villages such as Itterbeek, Groot-Bijgaarden, and Sint-Martens-Bodegem. This diversity is also reflected in the housing supply: from detached villas on generous plots to semi-detached properties and modern apartments near the main arterial roads. The presence of the Pajottenland to the west and the direct connection to Brussels via the N8 and the Brussels Ring Road give Dilbeek a particularly favourable geographical position. With 120 registered residential transactions during the measurement period, the market is active but not overheated. Anyone buying or selling in Dilbeek today would do well to work with a local estate agent who has a thorough understanding of the nuances of the various sub-municipalities and the evolution of the Flemish periphery.
