Real estate market in Durbuy
The Durbuy property market has undergone a notable shift in recent times. The median sale price for houses stood at €250,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025, a rise of 34% compared to the previous year when the median was still €186,500. That increase is significant and reflects growing demand from buyers who regard the Ardennes as a fully-fledged residential destination, not merely a holiday location. With 62 registered house transactions recorded during the measurement period, the market is active, although supply remains limited, which continues to support prices. For sellers, this climate presents clear opportunities. Those offering a property in good condition benefit from a market with serious buyers who are willing to pay a fair price. For buyers, the key is to be well prepared: the price range for houses runs from €138,750 at the first quartile to €318,000 at the third quartile, demonstrating that both starter homes and quality family homes come to market. Apartments, with a median price of €112,800, represent a more accessible alternative, although supply in this segment is more limited. Whether you are looking for a second residence along the Ourthe, a permanent home in one of the many sub-municipalities such as Barvaux-sur-Ourthe or Grandhan, or you wish to sell your property at the right price - a local estate agent with knowledge of the Ardennes is not a luxury in this market but a necessity.
